<p>"A little off topic, but every now and then I want to apply somewhere ED just to save the stress and the money of applications… "</p>
<p>applicannot - This is where a carefully selected rolling-admissions “safety” school can come in handy. Maybe your home-state public, maybe a relatively un-talked-about-at-cc second or third tier college/U, or even (gasp) your local community college, but certainly a place where you could be happy, that you can afford without aid other than aid determined by FAFSA, and that offers your intended major. Find a place like this, and get it in the bag early. You will feel soooooo much better knowing that you do have a place to go no matter what. And, sometimes this kind of search identifies a place that turns into a first-choice!</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
<p>P.S. Happykid just got a postcard from Longwood U in Virginia. They are offering instant admissions decisions for students who come tour the campus this summer. Details at whylongwood.com</p>
