D staved off the pressure to commit by telling the coaches in advance that she would not make a final decision until after she had completed all her official visits. Every one of the schools in the final 5 had already passed inspection through research and unofficial visits, so what she learned during the OV was going to be the deciding factor. Each coach did call for input after the official, and she was honest about what she liked and what concerned her about each school.

Utlimately, she applied to only one Ivy (H) which does not have ED, and one non-Ivy. She got the impression from the H coach that she could submit the application any time beginning in August after junior year (they started asking her over the summer to work on the app.). However, she did not submit it until the very end of Oct. when all but one of her official visits had been completed. After about a week and a half, she received a phone call to say she’d been admitted, and then the LL arrived shortly after.
