[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2024 was deferred and then hit it big time in RD with multiple T10/Ivies- in Dec I was in a panic and he filled out 15 new apps in 2 weeks over Xmas break.

I thought I’d catch a break this time, but nope! My 2026 was deferred from ED school and we are also stuck at home while he finishes up RD apps- very close now. I forgot what a major PIA it all is.

But, Op, that’s a very accurate description of my experience with my oldest. Lol. This go around I have less fkkkks to give because I know the process. [/quote]

I am right here with you. My kid is filling out 15 apps over the winter break.  Like everyone else here, I told them to get ahead before the ED decision so that they're not so far behind (I think I told them to do 1-2 apps every weekend starting at Nov. 1). Must not have happened because my kid is barely able to eat and sleep while working on a ridiculous amount of supplemental essays.[/quote]

Why is your kid doing 15 apps? I mean this genuinely and not snarky. My DC’s school (private) pushed for 10+ but that is an insane amount. How does your DC even have the ability to know the ins and outs of each school enough to be able to write meaningful supplementals? Is there not a safety that they love? Then a reach or two and maybe one or two target schools?[/quote]
