[quote=Anonymous]If at all possible, encourage your kid to apply to at least one school that admits early - either rolling decision or legit EA (as opposed to Michigan, which defers all but a few OOS EA applicants.) We did not realize how huge of a relief it was for DC to receive their first admit last week. Being deferred ED and then waiting until late January for the first EA involved a lot of stress. Rationally, we all knew they applied to a balanced list of schools, including some schools that should be 100% safe based on Naviance and our school's history. But those safeties are not 50% admit schools, and they have a reputation for occassional yield-protection. So . . . not 100% safe, even with DC's stats. This is a long-winded way of saying, it would have helped a lot to have an admit in hand in November. December and January were stressful after the ED deferral. [/quote]
