<p>“the time line will change” ?? I didn’t read that anywhere in the report
([University</a> of Virginia to Offer ‘Early Action’ Admissions Beginning in 2011](<a href=“http://www.virginia.edu/uvatoday/newsRelease.php?id=13501]University”>http://www.virginia.edu/uvatoday/newsRelease.php?id=13501)).</p>
<p>what I did read was:
" The early action application deadline will be Nov. 1, 2011. By Jan. 31, 2012, students will receive one of three responses…"</p>
<p>Since RA deadline for almost all colleges is Jan 1, kids will have to apply to the usual vast array of colleges, “just in case”, even though uVA may be either top of their list or very close.
How many colleges do most kids apply to? 8? 12?
I was hoping the new EA policy would permit successful kids to decide not to send out all of those extra applications, and instead send the total fees saved to a good cause… perhaps the Campaign for UVA: [Home</a> - <strong>Clone Master Campaign</strong> DO NOT USE](<a href=“http://campaign.virginia.edu%5DHome”>http://campaign.virginia.edu)… just a thought… oh well…</p>
