[quote=Anonymous]My class of 2022 DC applied ED to a school they previously were in love with. About a week before the decision came out, experienced extreme regret. We talked through it and I told them they could pull the app if they wanted to. They had already been accepted to a few safeties. They decided to go ahead and keep the app and got in ED. At first they were happy, but then the regret set back in and they were very depressed about the situation. It's hard to say exactly what was behind it all as there were also some serious mental health issues going on during this time. The ED school was a reach and was likely the best school DC could have gotten into but DC had a couple friends (with much higher stats) who got into Ivies and I think that + poor mental health skewed their perspective.

They went to the ED school and it's been good. Not perfect, but an overall great experience. DC loves their major, has a strong friend group, is active in extracurriculars, and is all around thriving.

DC2 doesn't have a strong first choice school, so they are applying EA everywhere and it's honestly so much less stressful not having all hopes tied to one place. One of their schools is guaranteed admission with their stats - VCU - so we also know they are going somewhere![/quote]
