I have something to add.

Jan-March - all the parents who are anxiously waiting for decisions, maybe the kids too, loosen their grip on reality, just a smidge.

You see it in the open hostility, and aggressiveness, in their responses in the college forum. Even a pretty innocuous thread instantly gets filled with bile.

The waiting game is insanely hard. There is a lot of loose anxiety looking for a place to land and drives everyone a little crazy. But maybe get a better hobby than rage posting on DCUM. [/quote]

After DC’s reach EA acceptances so far, it’s been a pretty chill January - that is almost over without tapping our watches. I think we just submitted to the process, knowing that time flies and it’ll be here sooner than we think.

My only hope is that all decisions come in prior to DCs spring break so we can attend admittedly students days over the break. Some of these “by April 1st” schools are what’s making me nervous. I don’t want to do any cross country visits in 48hrs when DC just had two weeks off for spring break… (and spots being open on those admitted students days, being that they could’ve been booked by previously admitted students in earlier rounds…).
