My son, Thing #2, applied EA to the following schools:
- MSU (rolling admissions, already accepted)
 - Michigan Tech
 - Penn State
 - Minnesota - Twin Cities
 - NC State
 - Colorado - Boulder
 - Colorado School of Mines
 - Wisconsin - Madison
 
We started him on the process in August with the hopes of having all the applications done in early September. (What were we thinking?) He got his last application (UW-Madison) done just a couple days ago after he finally finished the school-specific essay.
He has already seen MSU (his Mom is an alum), and attended two summer programs at MI Tech. This weekend we fly to Denver for him to see Boulder and School of Mines on Monday, his top two choices on paper. Stand by for a “what schools moved up or down your list after visiting” post.
At least the pressure is off with the MSU acceptance. Thank God for rolling admissions.
