<p>Some of you are suggesting that the OP should take no action until he hears from the rest of his schools. To me that’s same thing as saying that he doesn’t need a safety. </p>
<p>I strongly disagree. He needs a safety whether it’s Jan 1, or March 6. He does not have one. His work on college applications is not done. He should at least start researching schools whose deadlines have not past to assess their viability for him. Though decisions will be out in a few weeks, I know that in our school the bureaucracy to get transcripts and recommendations out takes several weeks also.</p>
