Also on tha group which sucks because kid really does have to complete the vast majority of RD apps before then.
My UVA ED kid is not doing any more RD apps until she hears (no later than 12/15.) I don't think any kid needs to submit any RD apps before New Years and all the ED decisions will be out by then. The app is basically ready isn't it?
No, many schools have multiple supplemental essays and short answer questions beyond the common app.
So repurpose ones that are already done obviously.
UVA didn’t have any supplementals this year, right? Nothing for the PP’s kid to repurpose.

What school? Schools don’t typically do likely letters for ED because the kid is already committed and does t need to be wooed.

Not always possible, plus the “why us” essay requires school specific info. My kid would prefer not to spend Xmas break doing RD apps, your kid can do what works for them.

Same here! And I thought my DD was doing well really well not thinking about it too much, but then at 11:00 pm last night she came to me and said "I'm going crazy with waiting! I'm thinking about it all the time!" It's always at 11:00 pm that you hear the real story : ). I think it just got more intense now that other schools are starting to release decisions or decision dates.
Exactly! She had a friend QB match earlier this week and it seems like that triggered all of the kids to wonder and worry. Less than two weeks now, but who is counting? (Jk. Definitely counting.)

And that’s yet another data point showing that rankings are meaningless because nothing about the school will have changed.
