<p>As a senior with fairly strong stats (1510 SAT, straight As, etc) I've been getting pretty much incessant mail from colleges, both in paper and electronic form. Recently, these have morphed from "Find out about our school!" to "Apply to our school for free!" deals. As an ED applicant to a school that can't be considered a saftey for anyone, I'm pretty interested in hearing a positive response from at least one school, so that I can at least get the burden of knowing I'm in somewhere off my shoulders.</p>
<p>Has anyone had experience with these types of applications? Generally they claim that no new essays are needed, the application fee is waived, and you'll recieve a decision within three weeks. It would seem as they're only doing this to manipulate their stats, but since I'd probably be using them as safeties, wouldn't that manipulate the stats the wrong way? Are they worth the time?</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice! :)</p>
<p>EDIT: Woah, sorry about that, thanks for catching my typo ilcapo235 ;)</p>
