<p>hello,
I want to attempt ED/EA (some of them restrictive) to like 4 colleges -you know, the regulars here at CC, haha- because the chances that I'll get accepted are slim, if not zero. As much as I'd like to be optimistic, I'm pretty sure I won't get accepted to many of them.. so should I just do it?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Try to get your hands around the reality of your situation. Are you being modest or do you really not have the stats? If your scores are low, for example, it’s often better to wait until RD and try to raise them. And the bottom line is it’s best to use your time and energy on schools where you have a shot.</p>
