~ 75 hours to go!

Submitted 4 yesterday and hope to get the final 4 done tonight. Then take a breather before starting on RD apps over Thanksgiving break. I am hoping for good news in December but need to prepare if they need to do more. I wish all the EA schools would notify before the RD deadline.

Ds is still working on the common app and barely started other supplemental essays.

Stressed out here.

Right there with you OP. It’s a hard week.

Five application submitted last night -- one ED and four EA. DC has five RD applications ready to submit, but will wait until after ED I decision in mid-December. This is so nerve-racking!

It’s not like everyone doesn’t know a year in advance. They have always been Nov 1. We knew that last winter.

Same here. I had not anticipated how unpleasant this would be.

Why wasn't this year's Nov 1 deadline moved to Nov 3rd (Nov 1 is a Sat.)?!

Submitted a batch last week.
Submitted one tonight.
One more to go - hoping to get it in by Thursday.

Then the RD’s - but after a breather.

Op here
So impressed with all the kids here. Good job!

We are still working on them none submitted.

This is a relief… if dont have to send now.

No. Check the individual school requirements. Very few colleges require them.

Our HS does not send them for EA/ED, only midterm in Dec.

If you want them to see them, you can upload a copy into the school’s portal if they get one.

Is it required to send first quarter grades to ED/EA schools?

Turned in 10/15, but just two. One ED and one EA.
