[quote=Anonymous]I think there's real danger in holding back applications until you hear from an EA or rolling admit safety school.  When your kid gets Dec 24th news that U Mich has deferred decision on his/her application, how nightmarish is it going to be to get out four or five more apps before Jan 1?  How possible is it going to be, over the holidays, to get others to send scores, transcripts, and letters of recommendation to those schools on time?  To me, assuming you can afford to do so (or can get fee waivers), it makes sense to send everything your kid can't control directly (scores, transcripts, letters) out as soon as they're ready (presumably by EA deadlines) and to have the online stuff ready to go at the push of a button.  Also, note that some schools (Universities of California) have regular deadlines that are before EA results are out.

This isn't an argument against applying EA to safety schools where feasible -- it'd be great to have good news early -- just about postponing other apps until you have a result.[/quote]
