No pressure or anything...

Apparently, it's getting more and more difficult to get into college these days. It hasn't been that long since I went through the process (14 short years), but things have evidently changed. With the new trend of Early Decision, you can apply by November 1, like we used to for "early admissions" back in the day. But if you're granted admission, you've entered a binding contract to commit yourself and your life savings to the institution. So basically, if you're in, slap that sticker on the back of the woody wagon and withdraw all other applications immediately. 

I guess I'm out of the loop so please forgive if this is common knowledge. But to all the parents out there, does that seem as scary to you as it does to me? 

(P.S. Good luck Sam!)
