[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is the worst off all.  They don't release their EA results until after January 1st. It doesn't allow time to apply elsewhere.  Thanks for nothing Charlottesville.[/quote]

It allows plenty of time to apply elsewhere. You just have to do it at the same time as the UVA application. Really you should be doing that even for a dec 15 notification. My DC did one ED (deferred), one EA (accepted), one EA (UVA), and 3 RD apps before hearing from the ED school. Based on the deferral now doing a few more apps before 12/31. Sure a UVA acceptance would mean not doing some of these additional apps but we learned with the first kid not to wait until ED decisions to do the rest of the apps as you are not in your best frame of mind.

I disagree. The UVA schedule is a pain, and DC didn't even apply there, but we've heard the complaints from DC's friends.

Yes, of course you should apply to some schools at the same time.  But there is a big difference between the schools that offer EA and rolling admissions, which are more likely to be safety schools, and the more select schools that are probably our kids' preferred choices. The former generally don't require extra essays, while the latter do. The time spent polishing the extra essays for the second set of schools can be huge. Not to mention the application fees of $50-80 a pop.
