What % of the kids who applied ED got into Trinity, Ilsa? I know a number of very selective schools where ED has a big punch, and others where it just is not a big deal. Son was not going to apply to EA to a certain school (laziness) but got an eye opening surprise upon seeing the stats for it. He had about a 50% chance of getting into the school which to him was just fine. But when he saw the early vs regular numbers, it turned out that the RD numbers were in the 20% range. Made him hustle that app right out. And it turned out that this year the total acceptance was waaaay down for them. He was very glad he got that app in the door. It turned out to be the school for him.

Certainly with State U in the picture, especially with rolling admissions, he has his safety and can go to town with this choices.
