<p>Here was my daughter’s experience (Yale): App is submitted by September 30, at which time coach completes his/her submission to the admissions office stating his/her support of the application. Within a week coach receives an email from admissions that the LL has been approved. Generally about a week later the letter is received. In my daughter’s case her application was submitted as SCEA from the outset, and I believe that was the case for all her fellow recruits with “slots.” I’ve heard tale on CC of the switching from RD to EA but I don’t know if that in fact happens or if the Admissions Office would actually be willing to review in early October an application that is not in fact an EA application. In my daughter’s case, the feedback from the admissions pre-read, discussions with and assurances from the coach, and the coach’s track record, all made us confident things would be totally fine, as in fact they turned out to be.</p>
