[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard advice to apply early to a school that has rolling admission so as to get an early acceptance as a safety. I do wonder how these schools view such applications when it’s pretty obvious they are a safety. [/quote] Applying early to a rolling admission school is excellent (and not new) advice. Schools are well aware that they may be safeties and many do not yield protect. EVERYONE needs to have safeties. Many schools are happy to accept such students because they have been able to calculate how many of them might attend, even if that % is low. There are sophisticated algorithms telling the school how much merit to offer and how many they can offer merit to, what % are likely to enroll in such a way that they won't go over budget, even though the total merit offers exceed the budget.[/quote]
