Because the deadline is 2 weeks away and DC's had weeks to think about it without making any progress.[/quote]

So a decision will be made in two weeks. It’s not like this process will never end.

I was a last-minute decider. I applied to only a few schools and was accepted on a rolling basis to one in the fall; I was pretty sure I wouldn’t get into my first choice, so mentally I had gotten comfortable with the rolling admissions school. Then I did get in to my first choice, which threw me for a loop and made the decision much harder.

Thirty years later I’m still extraordinarily grateful to my parents for letting me make the decision on my own time and not forcing the issue. They helped me tease out pros and cons, and I remember a final, tearful conversation the night before my decision was due, where they made clear that it was my call and they would support me either way. I chose the first-choice school, but I needed the time to process and deadline hanging over my head to pull the trigger.[/quote]
