[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is how a lot of large publics operate. And when it is "rolling admission" all the better. In some cases recs were not needed. D was admitted to Indiana University in October, and heard from 1 or 2 universites every month (8 in all, all out-of-state) The very last schools we heard from were instate (Virginia) She applied to the out-of-state schools sight-unseen. Once she had been accepted, and we knew the final cost (usually known with the acceptance letter), we planned visits to the schools that were the most promising. It's very nice to go on campus tours and already be an admitted student ~ very empowering. Also the process can be very fluid ~ no reason to stress about a 'final list'. As she received decisions & costs, and we visited, there was still plenty of time in the application season, she could have added more schools. If you're looking at large publics, this is the way to go. She is very happy at an oos flagship with merit aid covering 1/2 tuition for 4 years. By the way, merit aid was all-over-the-place. There would have been no way to predict it.[/quot

Thank you for this info! I'm going to have DD start applying now.[/quote]
