[quote=Anonymous]Excellent advice!  You should always plan ahead.  If you get ED acceptance, then you are excited about that and no harm.  But if Deferred/rejected, it's better (IMO) to have a plan in place and be ready to go.  It's the holidays, the kid will be upset about the non-acceptance.  So plan when you are thinking clearly and have the applications ready to go for the next phase.  That is what we did 2 years ago--and we had to implement it (Deferred in ED, so had some decisions to make---Do we ED2 or do we hold off and wait to hear---we chose hold off and wait to hear from ED school in March).  But we also already had majority of applications in by Nov 1/Nov 15.  Only held off on the ones without EA or early deadlines at all. Figured, why pay $75 to apply to a school with a Jan deadline if we got in ED.  But the essays were 95% complete for the 3 extra schools, so it only took 2-3 hours to finish up before Xmas.

Because unless you are applying ED to a school that is not a Reach, the odds are high you are not getting admitted.  [/quote]
