<p>Hmm, that's funny, I know for a fact had I applied to a EA/ED school and no rolling admission schools, I'd wait until the holiday break to do all my applications. Instead I didn't apply to any schools EA/ED and applied to a rolling decision school. Luckily for me, they deferred me in early November, so that gave me plenty of motivation to finish the rest of my apps. Needless to say I finished them all (except for one) by December 6th simply due to the fact that I knew I had already gotten deferred. </p>
<p>Oddly enough, right after I spent about a total of $1000 applying to schools and finished all my applications and schools were notifying me my applications were complete, one of my top choice schools (the one I was deferred in November to) accepted me. So right now I'm actually slightly mad I didn't procrastinate for another month. Then I coulda saved like $800 in app fees and I would only need to send out like...2-3 apps instead of the 12 I originally sent. Well, I guess in hindsight that seemed to be the right thing to do, but obviously what I did was probably smarter (cause normallly deferred applicants don't hear back till April). At least I'm already done so now I can enjoy my xmas break ;)</p>
<p>Funny how things work out...</p>
