<p>I got deferred from University of Chicago (my second choice)...I'm considering applying EDII to Swarthmore (my first choice, but I didn't originally want to apply there early decision for fear of being roped in/changing my mind), but I sent in all my applications at the same time, and it was marked regular decision - is there a way I could change that?</p>
<p>Bump (I dislike the ten character limit.)</p>
<p>When is the EDII deadline? Could you email the admissions office or rep in charge of your area and ask if they could consider your app under EDII group?</p>
<p>The EDII deadline is January 2 (same as regular admission deadline). I am planning on calling the admissions office right now actually.</p>
<p>Cool. Do tell me how that goes.</p>
<p>My little anecdote: Cornell College (in Iowa) extended its EA deadline to December 19th while previously it was Dec. 15. I had filled in the Common App on Dec. 14th (no fee if before Dec. 15th - I procrastinate), then posted the transcript and their supplement on Dec 16th. Then I get an email to all prospective students saying that the EA deadline to extended to Monday on Saturday, I think. </p>
<p>Well, now! I was a little miffed cause I put myself under RD cause I wasn't so sure if the deadline was when the ONLINE App was put in or when the POSTMARK of the supplement and recs/transcript sent in. I wrote them an email Sunday, asking if my app could be considered under the EA group, whatwith the new deadline and I got a reply today saying they will. </p>
<p>:D </p>
<p>Yay!!! I'll know by Feb 1st, but I'll still know ahead of the others! Yes!!!</p>
<p>I called and they said that I needed to print out the part of the supplement dealing with early action and have my counselor sign it, and write a note saying that I wanted to switch from RD to EDII and sign it, then fax both of them in.</p>
<p>Cool. I hope you don't have vacation already, though... <em>worried</em> Mine already started; don't know about schools in Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>Nope, Friday (the 23rd) is my last day.</p>
<p>And the lady who I talked to in admissions said they'd like it before the holidays so I'm going to fax it tomorrow anyway.</p>
<p>lucky you. I just got an email from an admissions officer asking for transcript from my second high school. I thought my external exam results (British IGCSE) would be sufficient, as did my guidance counselor.</p>
<p>Now I'm stuck cause the 2nd high school and my current high school both have vacation now. What on Earth do I do???</p>
<p><em>worried</em></p>
<p>For Swarthmore? I'd say call the admissions office tomorrow, explain the situation and say that you will send the transcript ASAP when you get back.</p>
<p>It's for Saint Louis Uni. Deadline was December 1st for scholarship consideration. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Oh hmm. I'd say the same thing? Fax it or overnight mail it? They might discard it and not even look at it, but then again, they might take it into account.</p>
