<p>My D had a similar story. She applied early, with the thought of maybe cancelling other applications. But when she stayed for a UofC-sanctioned overnight, she was not pleased. Her hosts suggested she stay in a small room all by herself to study, while they went elsewhere, also to study! But the next night, she stayed with a high school acquaintance, had a great time, and did indeed cancel the other apps.</p>
