The Feb thing is a favorite topic of mine. My DS was a Feb but reluctantly may graduate a semester ahead of time with the regs. He has had extensive conversations with admissions personnel about what makes a “FEB”. I agree that leaving it open provides the best chances, but the reality is they are looking for a certain “type” to be a Feb. Febs typically do better academically, hold more leadership positions and take more control of their educational experience. This is not my opinion but has been stated many times by various admissions/profs that we have spoken to. GL in your ED2 application. If only I could justify another 30K to let him ski down the slopes with his Feb class… :(
