<p>Our D was admitted EA to Yale and is very likely to attend but she had already submitted a number of other appllications and scholarship applications, representing a great deal of work. She is a very busy kid and we have not had a chance to visit many of the school to which she applied. There was really no sane way to make the ultimate decision last December. And honestly, given the extreme competition, she (and we) didn’t expect to have a Yale admission in hand at that point. So she ended up following through with her other applications - she’s doing a lot of interviewing for scholarships this month - and we will visit Yale next week. Our GC and the media had us convinced her chances were very slim for Yale so we have been very focussed on casting that wide net. Once you do that it’s very hard to reel it back in until you find out what you catch. As for EA being morally binding - NO WAY! That’s called ED.</p>
