[quote=Anonymous]I had one DC who was anxious about college applications, so we found an auto-admit rolling admissions school that they would be willing to attend. No, not their first choice, but it would have been perfectly fine. There are several schools where, if you apply early in the fall, you can hear back quickly. Arizona, Kansas, Iowa, etc. They applied on a Saturday and had an acceptance by Monday afternoon. But I do think there are always kids/parents who overestimate their chances and don't have any true safeties on the list. They can either get completely shut out, or have one admission that they only applied to because a counselor made them, and they don't really want to go there. Those kids can likely find an admit from the list in May or a rolling public, but many of them won't want to choose one of those schools. So it does happen, but shouldn't if the list has a few TRUE safeties on there. [/quote]
