[quote=Anonymous]It all worked out well for my DC, but looking back we should have toured a couple of safeties more thoroughly - especially some that provide early results.

DC had a handful of safeties on their list and got into one very early in the process, direct admit to their competitive program of choice, and decided they would go there over all other safeties and didn’t apply to the rest. It made me so nervous that all the safety eggs were in one basket!

They had visited but only briefly (didn’t do a proper tour but spent an hour or so walking around campus when we were in town, and I had toured thoroughly and properly myself with an older child who also applied years ago).

DC got into their ED choice and it turned out to be a nonissue. While I was anxious for those 8 weeks while waiting on the ED school, DC was happy because they got to cut a half dozen iterations of supplemental essays from their list and could focus on other EA and RD apps (plus classes, activities, etc). They may have felt very differently if the ED hadn’t come through and they got rattled. The EA deadlines on the other safeties on the original list had passed by then. [/quote]
