My son is an aspiring Freshman. He applied ED to SU as it was his first choice. He deliberated quite carefully as we had visited approximately 12 schools over 18 mos or so. He hopes to be hearing in the next week or two. Of about 5 schools (of the 12) that met all his criteria and he could “picture himself at,” only SU kept surviving without significant negatives. He would have one as his tentative #1, then another - each time not quite 100% enthusiastic. Once or twice I recounted his reaction when we visited SU last Spring: that he liked just about everything about it. I asked him to consider whether ED was right for him and he called his SU Adcon to discuss. As a result, we scheduled a second visit, overnight, classes, etc. early this application season. It sealed the deal.

I anticipate ED working out for him. He’s transitioned from not getting energized about college to enthusiastically awaiting word from SU and ready to go. There is something very personal about the place. I’m happy to share any info, etc. with anyone.

So far, I’m a believer.
