Aside from students who have a clear first choice, let’s remember that some students are comfortable with 4-5 schools and know they’ll be happy at any of them. Not all students agonize over a list of schools and scrutuinze these choices to the bitter end. If a students is happy with a group of schools and isn’t interested in 1 any more than the others, that student may decide file an ED app and be done with the process before Christmas break.

We shouldn’t assume that this process is interesting, fun, exciting or necessary for everyone. Some kids just don’t really have a favorite and don’t find any benefit from going through the dance of admissions…they want to be done…they find a few great matches…figure ED odds are good at one…go for it without looking back…and live happily ever after.

For some kids, this process just isn’t that dramatic.
