mayhew, we’ve gone this route as well, but with a different Ivy. Early read of complete application in October, LL received before October 31st, admission (EA/ED in this case) on the same day as all other applicants in the early round. And just like stemit, I was worried sick, and D was convinced it was a done deal on receipt of the LL. She was right.

LL’s were offered by other school at the same time as the final choice was being offered. The coaches were very clear that accepting an LL was a verbal commitment by the athlete to attend once admitted. We interpreted this to mean one could not accept more than one. That would be like having two dates to prom. There are rare exceptions to this verbal commitment rule for the very, very best athletes.
