[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I was there last year, and the stress is really bad. ED is a great plan for his first choice. But also get him to submit some EA (early action) applications at some target and safety schools at the same time. Often a kid's safety schools will require less in the way of supplemental essays, maybe a para on why you want to go to the safety school, and you can almost (not quite) just send the completed Common Ap to these additional schools. The advantages of this are that if he's rejected at the ED school, he'll probably get acceptances from these other schools about the same time. I've seen kids get rejected by their ED schools, and it's twice as bad spending your holiday writing more apps and knowing that your first choice already rejected you. If he gets the safety apps in EA, he'll at least know that some colleges love him.[/quote]
