<p>Recently, I've been getting emails that note things like a waived application fee, no essay, scholarship consideration, early action program, and a decision notification in 2 weeks. Does it make sense to apply to this university though the common app (one extra button), and use the university that gives the most money as a safety?</p>
<p>As long as it is a university you feel you could afford and be happy at that sound like a good plan. And IMO it is always nice to get one very early acceptance like that. My S was accepted to a school that was not his top choice, but that he really did like by October so he didn’t apply to any schools that were further down his list which was great.</p>
<p>@happy1 the thing is I’m never going to qualify for financial aid, so it might be nice for my parents to pay less than they have to.</p>
<p>What kind of schools?</p>
