[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since decisions seem to be coming out earlier for several colleges this year (by a few weeks), I feel like DC is finally having fun in early March!

Because of the insanely unpredictable state of holistic college admins, her school-based counselor suggested she over-apply to 15-ish schools. Now she's going from feeling desperate and worried to feeling like she's getting spoiled for choice as so many (majority) are coming back admitted. Also, we're dual Canadian-US citizens, so all of Canada is like one big in-state option for us and they decide on a rolling basis so she got admissions answers by Jan/Feb to all the top schools in Canada already too. [b]I really would suggest applying to Canada's best schools and putting them in the mix too. Their cut-off guidelines give you a good window into predicting whether you will get in, and it's not the "black box" of mystery as US[/b] state schools are which are all holistic.[/quote]

Agree!

And it's nice during RD when all the decisions come in for kids to finally feel "wanted" and sought after rather than the other way around during initial visits and applications.[/quote]
