[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know so many high stats kids who are applying to rolling EAs like Pitt and publics like Wisconsin and MN, when they have no intention of going. These are not their real safeties. They're kids who just always do the most, so why not apply august before senior year begins to a bunch of EA publics because "I want to get my safeties in early, and I can apply to these schools and also do SCEA to Yale". Oh, okay! [/quote] Wait, I don’t get it. Why are early rolling schools “not real safeties”?[/quote] I think the PP means that the kid does not intend to go. But, of course, the point of a safety is in fact to attend if nothing else works out. Perhaps it's more accurate to say that the kid hopes to attend elsewhere instead but would prefer to attend the safety rather than community college. A rolling school that returns an early acceptance becomes a safety as soon as that acceptance is in hand and it is certain to be affordable.[/quote]
