DS is finally done with the EA apps. No ED. Not planning on any RD unless a bunch of EAs are a no.

This whole thing is a game, just like many things in life, but I’m excited for this particular game to be over soon.


No RDs ? Sigh.

Hopefully we won't have to worry about any RD applications.


Which one is this? All schools should have a weekday deadline. Sigh

Perhaps not hitting submit is a sign that perhaps that ED isn't the way or isn't the school for YOUR DD.

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.
