[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just how it is. The process sucks for these kids. It's really stressful and seemingly random. The best thing you can do for your kid is  to help them find a number of schools where they would be happy v. putting all their hopes into a couple. Definitely ED and EA if they can but understand that especially with the state schools it's not a guarantee you will know. A number of schools including UNC, UVA and I believe VT have moved to admit/deny/waitlist for EA and UVA for both ED and EA. A bunch of others defer many of the out of state applicants to the regular admissions cycle.[/quote]

Just know that for most OOS flagships it’s a simple math formula based on GPA for EA/ED; so that there are no surprises. 
Good CCO should tell you, but most don’t.[/quote]

This may be true for some states, but it's certainly not that formulaic for the best ones. Lots of kids getting waitlisted who are more than qualified under a simple math formula. [/quote]
