<p>Now that I've turned in all of my applications I was surfing the net looking at colleges whose deadlines haven't passed and have good english/journalism programs. I've found a few like Allegheny where the deadline's Feb. 15 so I know it's not impossible, but I'm wondering if anyone thinks it's worth the trouble to apply? I've already applied to UT austin(accepted), Rice, Brown(reach), Tulane, Rhodes, Baylor, Marist, and Ithaca. This is alot of money I've spent so far and I just want anyone weigh in on whether I should just apply and not care about how much aid I'll get and whatnot or if I should discipline myself and be content with the colleges I've applied to so far. Sorry for the long post I'm just really stressed about whether I've applied to the right schools and everyday I'm fighting the urge to apply to every last college with a good journalism/english program left. Anyone else out there who thought they were done applying and are trying to stop themselves from applying to even more colleges?</p>
<p>I'm not sure why you would add schools. If you have the stats for Brown and Rice, you'll clearly get into the others on your list.</p>
<p>I actually have the inverse reaction. I found out one of the schools I was so-so about is actually my #1 and want to go SOOO bad. I wish I spent more time investigating and wish I checked ED2 instead of RD!</p>
<p>I thought about applying to some of the later deadlines, but after realizing how significant visiting and such..I don't think I could be so thrilled to go to any of them since I don't know much about them. (even though I could investigate later)</p>
<p>But if you are recognizing special programs you are interested in, it wouldnt hurt to if you have the money.. and time now that the other apps are out of the way.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm not that interested in applying to a lot of these schools I'm finding with later deadlines, it's just that I'm worried about which schools will offer me the best deals when it comes to aid, and (to hmom5) it's not getting in that I'm worried about, what worries me is that I'll get accepted to the schools I've applied to now and wish I had more choices to choose from. But more than financial aid and such I just want to go to a school where I'll be incredibly happy and enjoy myself, which is hard to know when there are so many great schools out there. I actually have a friend who only applied to Rice and that's it, didn't apply to a safety or nothing. She got in ED :) and now she's just relaxing. I just wish I could be that set on where I want to go... I envy decisive people. >_<</p>
<p>You should relax now and just wait. There really are no schools of the caliber you're applying to whose deadlines haven't passed. However, I think due to the economy, some private colleges will entertain late applications. If you have one in mind, call them.</p>
<p>I think I'll just apply to Allegheny (deadline is Feb 15) and try to contain myself after that. Their online app is free anyways...I just hope this isn't like a gateway thing and I go crazy and start applying to every other school whose deadline hasn't passed that I can find. (I probably won't, no worries.) Besides with Allegheny I'll have reached a total of 9 colleges and FAFSA only allows you to submit 10 anyways.</p>
