<p>Hello! I am a ninth grader seeking to apply to DA as a sophomore. How do you think the late date will effect my application?</p>
<p>Have you even visited the school and interviewed yet? Since you need FA and you are applying late, your chances are probably zero, despite your inspirational tale of overcoming a personal challenge. </p>
<p>Realistically, the best possible outcome is that you might end up on the Wait List. When we visited the school, an admissions officer told us that one year 2 kids were pulled off the WL, and that was unusually high. So a WL at that school is essentially a soft rejection. </p>
<p>Are you not aware that nearly 2400 kids apply to that school, and 7-out-of-8 of them are rejected despite of the fact they applied on time.</p>
<p>The last day to apply was Feb 10th. After that they don’t take late applicants</p>
