[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]do your research and if you have a strong application, and get some EA (and merit!) admits in December.

My DD feels GREAT, even with a T20 deferral, given all the love she's received from her safeties/rolling (Pitt, Case, and Vermont) last month.

It's a HUGE ego boost and relief. Don't underestimate it.[/quote]

This is the best piece of advice we got. DD got a couple of early rolling merit offers which showed her lots of love. It really set her up well for the rest of the admissions season because she would have been fine going to either school if those were her only options. [/quote]

I would say to start way earlier even, in July depending on specifics: My dd ended up not applying to UC schools and Cal State schools because the application process was so different and cumbersome. By the time we applied to our other EA schools especially in-state, she was busy with school, sport at school, and she ran out of steam and felt done. Then she could have done it in December, but by then she already heard back about admissions at some schools and decided not to send these out. I wish we got those out first. So EAs coming out derailed this for her. [/quote]
