[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the kids I know it was usually one of the two: 1. ECs were not that strong and/or couldn't convey the drive behind the ECs. 2. Put lots of effort into preparing the app for their top choice, got rejected or deferred in the early round, were blindsided by that and spread themselves too thin preparing apps for another 20 top schools. [/quote] How do you know this? You have no real idea. Pure conjecture. [/quote] I know several people who in early December had a list of 12-15 schools they planned to apply to (EA, ED and RD). Then, after seeing all the rejections and deferrals for themselves and other people, they added another 5-7 schools to the list making it very top heavy. Meanwhile, their essays for the original list were not yet finalized. Knowing how much work goes into supplemental materials for each school, there is no way they could crank out 10+ solid apps in 2 weeks. [/quote]
