<p>I just thought I would set up a dedicated thread for everyone who was deferred to post stats, post decisions in the spring or whenever (last year some kids were accepted a few weeks after they were deferred) and just discuss anything. It would be really great to post all decisions even if denied (only if comfortable in sharing). Good luck!</p>

I completely expected a denial so a deferral was happy news!</p>
<p>I don't think it's SAT scores because I got
1340/1600
However my GPA is 93</p>
<p>My Guidance counselor says their might have just been a cap on how many people could get accepted EA. She's pretty confident I'll be accepted RD, I'm sure many of you will too.</p>
<p>^^smartestgurl: No offense, (I am an OOS parent and alumni rep), but you are an OOS acceptee and are held to a different standard than those who applied in-state.</p>
<p>There is another thread (yes, dated, but appropriate) that talks about how in-state students who applied ED1 to the Hum-ec school at Cornell were all deferred, while OOS were accepted. In this tenuous economic climate, Binghamton (and Cornell state schools) may be trying to front load their admissions with OOS candidates in an effort to gauge how much OOS$$ will be coming in (at a higher tuition)....</p>
<p>Then for RD, they can re-assess, especially if some of these OOS acceptees already commit....</p>
<p>It would be very helpful (as the postees from UNC did) if you created an in-state v OOS acceptance thread.....</p>
<p>FWIW, still haven't heard of one OOS applicant deferred or denied???</p>
<p>oh heyyy: there is a story on another thread of students who have tried to do that...hasn't worked unfortunately...</p>
<p>what I do think is unfortunate for NYS students is that there really isn't another public around that is trying to increase their OOS students....at some point, taxpayers in NY will rebel and someone will introduce legislation similar to that in North Carolina where only a certain % of OOS students are permitted.....until that time, however, NYS students will be held to a higher standard, especially at Binghamton. Not sure about other SUNY campuses though.....</p>
