My son chose a school that doesn't offer ED. Got his LL in October. The wait for official notification in April was unbearable for me, but no big deal for him.

^^even the wait from Oct to Dec was painful for me! I did get a lot of reassurance from the CC parents who had gone before, that the system works. Many stepped up and "held my hand", virtually, until the real acceptance came, and then celebrated with us.

river: painful, yes! and just weird, on one hand it's a huge thing (life direction) on the other hand it's just college. athletics has given d these amazing college opportunities yet at the same time athletics is what makes it so painful because she wants to perform at the highest level and therefore wants to be on the best team with the best coach. Counselors tell athletes to pick the school not the team/coach. But as most of us know, athletes are picking a team and coach 1st, and oh ya the schools great too.
...it's the stuff of life!

I'm waiting for my likely. I don't think I'll have too much trouble waiting until December, but the wait for the LL to get here is brutal

if the coach said he/she is sending you a LL, it'll come! and an IVY LL is as good as in, congrats!!! Contrary to some of the banter that goes on here, coaches are honest, hard working, and want to help kids/young athletes. And they want to win 
My athlete is fairly relaxed about the whole thing, I'm the wreck And there's no LL on the path she's on.

Posted this on a different thread, but as a caution-
my S was told by a highly selective LAC DIII coach- send in your ed app and I'll support you, no prob, you're in, and due to CC advice, I asked for an admissions "walk-thru" before I let my son "push the button"-
every day for a week another e-mail- admisssions person away, just a few more days, looking good, should be soon, then a phone call on the 5th of Nov-"So sorry, things have changed, still wish you would apply ED, and love to have you on the team, but no slot for you, so no guarantee".
My S was devastated, but luckily hadn't wasted his ED app. I think an Ivy hopeful with better stats showed up-and no spot for my S. So be very careful, coaches want lots of prospects, and they are definitely hedging their bets.
