<p>Yes, Temple! I kept feeling there was a great one I was forgetting. If she is interested in the Midwest (based on Northwestern), I do feel the University of Minnesota’s BA is terrific, know several grads. A wonderful city to live in, too. They have one app deadline that’s early and then gives a fairly early answer.</p>
<p>I am sorry that some of the ones from my general list didn’t have EA. I know Bard and Goucher do, also New Paltz, because D applied there, and Drew because she considered it. Most public schools have rolling or EA of some sort. </p>
<p>I still recommend finding schools by the program - perhaps from suggestions on these threads, and then taking a few seconds to doublecheck the EA online. I know it’s frustrating, but starting with EA isn’t going to send you to schools your D will like. That’s just my two cents.</p>
<p>D applied to probably half of her schools EA/rolling, and other half regular (mostly because they had ED only). She did burn out on essays and postponed one of her EAs to RD. Generally the earlier the better is a great policy - except where certain financial aid issues exist. Non-binding is a very nice option.</p>
<p>I totally understand wanting a few EAs/rolling in case the ED doesn’t work out. I had an ED kid the first time around (not theatre) and she refused to apply even to our flagship before she got her ED answer. Some kids are just like that. She said she’d push the button on her other apps the day she was rejected ED - but in fact she was accepted. For her that made it sweeter, I guess, even though it was frustrating for me.</p>
