@CroissantMiser That’s not going tp happen, and a applicant has to make a CHOICE at some point, is 6 more months of fretting about it really going to make a difference, not in most cases. There is a balance of power here between the applicants, schools and process (EA/ED/RD), and nobody is ever forced to apply ED. Everyone who complains here about ED are the ones who want it all in their corner, that is not the way the real world works either so maybe its an early lesson on choices. Bottom line on this is…grow where planted…and don’t worry about which school you did or didn’t get into.
