<p>I asked my college advisor if I should apply for regular admission just in case the early decision didn't work out. But she said I should wait until I get the results for early decision before I apply. I am expecting to get the letter next week even though i don't think the letter will be at my mail box at exactly Dec 15th. One of college's deadline for regular admission is on the same day I expect to receive the letter. What should I do?!</p>
<p>Wait do you mean apply RD to another school or apply to the same school for RD? </p>
<p>You can’t apply to the same school for RD so I’ll assume you mean apply to another school RD. But yeah I think apply to the other school. That way if ED doesn’t work out you have a good backup </p>
<p>I suggest that you get ALL of the RD application done while your are awaiting your ED result. Have them all ready to go so that you can just pay and hit submit if you are not accepted to your ED school. Better than pounding that kind of salt over the holidays If you get accepted, it’s game over.</p>
<p>No reason to actually submit the apps until you get your ED result and you can save money by not actually sending out the apps. If you really feel you want to send out your RD apps, yes you can, but that’s money down the drain if you get accepted ED.</p>
<p>If money is an issue for you, and any of those other apps are to places with rolling admission where you would be guaranteed merit-based aid if you file by a certain date, then send those off now.</p>
<p>Regular decisions for my other schools. Also I guess its better to waste some money than not going to a school at all.</p>
<p>Definitely don’t miss any deadline, but wait until you get the results to save the application fees. If a school has a Dec. 15 deadline, or any schools have deadlines you need to meet for scholarships, then send those in before you have an answer. Most Jan 1 or later schools can wait, especially if they’re already to go if you don’t get the answer you want.</p>
