<p>For non rolling based schools, the RD deadline is Dec. 31/Jan, 1st. If you turn your app in now, will they start reviewing you or they wait until after the New Year? TIA!</p>
<p>I would assume if your file is complete, some schools will start reading as soon as recruiting and travel season is over for their admissions officers.</p>
<p>they gotta get the senior year 1st half</p>
<p>hopeful: Eh, not so sure about that.... Me thinks that they will read the apps, make a preliminary decision and then unless 1st semester senior year grades are really an aberration, decision is done.</p>
<p>i know one person who worked a few years ago at a very selective college (15% acceptance) and she said that after she finished visiting, all she would do is read apps. They don't wait until the deadline-it's enough apps as it is!</p>
<p>I hope they start reviewing them early, I sent mine in a few weeks ago (for ED) and it would be nice to have them read mine once before they get too bogged down...maybe improve my chances a bit.</p>
<p>I heard the ivies are removing ED/EA soon? Is that true?</p>
<p>^ Some already have: Harvard, Princeton...</p>
<p>Brown had EA last year, but now they only have ED.</p>
<p>What about the other ivies?</p>
<p>ciiaobella, Brown did not have EA last year.</p>
