[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OPs question and premise of …. I didn’t get into ED1 so I’ll just go to UK….. does that actually happen?  Like, I didn’t get into BC, none of the other schools are interesting or prestigious enough in the US so I’ll just go to St Andrews. [/quote]

I personally think it is a mistake to make such a quick decision without realty thinking about the consequences. This decision is better done by Juniors today and not Seniors who missed ED1.

We took a month in the UK visiting schools between Jr and Sr year and visited 8 different universities and met with admissions people and occasionally with a program director. DS had an opportunity to not only walk around and visit campus, but also spent a few days around campus to see what it could be like. I do not recommend to your Sr who never thought about it to all of a sudden on Jan 15 to put together a UCAS application for the fall. It is a recipe for disaster to make a quick life changing decision this fast.[/quote]

Huh? Just because they apply doesn't mean they have to go.

And news flash - not everyone can afford to college trip overseas without even knowing you whether they got in!

I'm guessing you don't want more applications coming in to compete with your son's[/quote]

No, PP’s point is reasonable. It’s weird to shotgun an application in 10 days to schools that operate on a very different system that you’ve never given serious thought to previously.[/quote]

Weird, perhaps, but VERY low cost and low time commitment, so if there's any interest . . . why not?  If kid gets admitted, won't need to commit until August, I think so they'll have lots of time to consider. [/quote]
