You definitely create a backup plan beforehand. The time between rejection and when the RD apps for selective schools are due is very short and you will be in no mood to do them, plus you undoubtedly have finals and Xmas and New Year’s. And your HS will be closed as well, so no help there. D has 10 schools on her list, her ED1 and an EA are in. She has to complete a Priority App and a merit scholarship school by Dec. 1. Her ED2 school will definitely be done before the ED1 announcement, ready to go. That leaves five, and she should have at least rough drafts of four of those ready as well.

She’s hopeful all this will be wasted effort, but given the odds, you need a Plan B.
