FC! you are among the most knowledgeable and helpful folks I’ve encountered on CC. In this case I think you are dead wrong. What is the point of an EA deadline if applicants can continue to send supporting documents after the deadline? It’s not fair to the applicants who met the deadline. Now, I can see using updated supporting info to change an admission decision or to upgrade a merit award. But for the purposes of an EA decision, the deadline should be the deadline. I’m confused why this is even an issue!?!? Can a basketball player make a basket after the game and ask the refs to add those points on the game score? Can you show up two hours after a store is closed and expect someone to open the doors for you? Applying EA has advantages and those advantages should only be available to the kids who met the deadlines. Again, I have no issue with additional supporting documents changing a deferral to an acceptance or to increase a merit offer. What am I missing?
