Bump

3 apps submitted

ED1 and 2 EA

Admitted to 1 EA (safety) and admitted ED1, then pulled the second EA.

Had RDs nearly ready to go but never submitted. Can't recall the exact number but it was in the 10-12 range total.

It was a little odd to work so hard on so many apps and then never submit them and never know. But far better to have it work out this way.

9. He got into one school early action, converted another to ED2 and then pulled the rest of his apps when he got into the ED2 school.

This is admirable. Parents take heed.
We have an 11th grader. Next year they will be making one application to 7 of the colleges of the University of California (we are in state).

I don’t know of any other states that do it that way. Sounds dreamy.

What the previous poster failed to mention is that there may be one UC application but you have to pay $70 for each school you apply to.

We are low income and DS received fee waivers for 5 campuses, IIRC.

Ontario does it as well - 1 app goes in for up to 8 colleges

There is the UC Specific application.
Common App
Coalition
The SUNY App
Some college fairs allow you to apply in person at the fair

The bigger question is why

Stats?

With the Black Common App, students can apply to 70 schools or more.

Doesn't the Common App cap you at 20?

Yes. Not all schools accept the Common App. Georgetown is one that doesn’t, IIRC.

Good merit at dream school.

This sounds like a great approach; you know so early!

EA is a great thing and our kid applied EA to all schools that they were interested in that had it. But not all schools have it - so if you don’t ED there, RD is the option. So even if your kid applies to a bunch of rolling and EA schools in the fall, just keep in mind that might leave others still to go.
