<p>I actually have a rolling admissions school that I love - Pitt. On an income of $20,000, there is no school (except community college, but I’d rather go $60,000 in debt) I can afford with only FAFSA aid. That said, my prospects for scholarship money at Pitt are excellent and I should have the decision by December. So, that rolling admissions advice is DEFINITELY solid.</p>
<p>I think I was experiencing a lot of stress because my limit of applying to six schools had slowly grown to eight. I think I’m comfortable with six (I was bottom heavy, now I’m a little reach heavy) again, which helps some. So many of my applications are essay-heavy that the thought of filling out literally twenty or so essays is daunting. But I’ve been reading, and happymomof1/poetgrl, your advice has been great. My current early action school is a mega reach, but as per poetgrl, I think trade it out for something a little more realistic. In fact, I’m off to look for a list of EA schools right now.</p>
