<p>Believersmom. My D had a similar experience to yours. The school with the traditional deadline was her first choice. Her safety, with rolling admission, had a LOT of time to court her with phone calls, cards, very early and nice financial aid package. By the time she was accepted at her first choice school, she had cooled towards it. She will be going to her ‘safety.’
Rolling Admissions is the best stress reliever for students and parents. I am all for every student having one or two rolling admissions schools on their list.</p>
