<p>I didn’t realize you could change EA applications. I will have to keep that in mind when my kids are applying. I would not have thought it an option. I think the only thing that changed when I applied is that my RD application included 1st term senior year grades. Pretty significant, actually, since I did all my senior year classes at a local college, which I guess was more uncommon 20+ years ago. I didn’t get in anywhere EA, and my GC thought it was because colleges wanted those grades (I got into both EA schools RD, so he might have been right). I did work quite hard on all my applications, and I don’t think the early ones were any worse than ones submitted later.</p>
