Thank you, SJ2727. I am still trying to wrap my head around how much of a difference 2 weeks can make. Usual regular decision deadline is around January 1, I’m hoping my son can get applications out of the door prior to January 15. Perhaps the mistake I’m making is that I am oversimplifying the ability to send transcripts, recommendations, etc soon after his grades are out on January 10.
Thank you, menloparkmom! I understand you now, I think that’s a swell idea.
Thank you, happymomof1! My son is a US applicant and I think this is a great idea for a safety in case he is unable to meet the January 15 deadline for few schools.
