OP here with an update for other chill parents -
DD was accepted to her top choice with $15K scholarship and is THRILLED. This was an EA app at a school with rolling admissions so she just found out 2 days ago. She has 9 more apps in but to her, they’re now just a bonus if she gets in (there is one school she’d probably choose over this acceptance if she got in, but with an acceptance rate of &lt;15% she knows it really isn’t an option).

Chill parents, continue to not stress!  We got this![/quote]

CongratsOP!

It is nice to have "early acceptances", especially for a top choice.

With my kid they had 2 EA acceptances before xmas both with excellent merit (one with top notch merit) and that helped take the sting out of the ED rejection and let the holidays be relaxing when you know you are in at several of your "top choices" (for my kid it was their Top safety which they really loved and what because their 2nd choice ultimately).  As our CC said--"congrats, you are going to college next fall"  After that, the waiting for the other schools doesn't matter as much.  That is why I encourage everyone I know to apply to a rolling admission and a few EA that let you know in Dec/early Jan.  Definatley takes the pressure off
