<p>Too late for this admissions season, but for the future …</p>
<p>I really like rolling admission schools as safeties. Both my kids did this and had an admit decision in the bag during that long wait until April. It seemed to help! They each had an ED application but neither one panned out.</p>
<p>My daughter also had a couple EA applications, one deferred her (like the ED school did) and the other admitted her. So that gave her two admissions to calm her (and her parents) down.</p>
