hey guys! im a recent applicant that got deferred in the ED pool, i was wondering if anyone else got deferred and if any students or parents had any insight and advice on what to do after this so we can still be considered!
My daughter received a deferral as well. While not the preference it allows her to evaluate her other offers while still having a chance to be Barnard Bound. In her case while Barnard was her number 1 she has a lot of others that she is very excited about as well. To be deferred means your an excellent candidate and would be an excellent candidate at many top schools. Best of luck to you!
thank you for your positivity and good luck wishes @Chauffer ! i wish the best for your daughter as well! are you all planning on submitting an interest letter and supplemental materials to the admissions office?
I was also deferred!
Also got deferred
Does anyone know chances for admission for deferred students deferred from Barnard?
Yes the plan is to do so. At this point she has extended so much effort she feels she should take the next step.
hey if you girls want i would totally love to make an instagram groupchat where we can help eachother out and talk about what we can/should do next in regards to the deferral! @Syksy @Amazonfirestick , i think it could be pretty interesting to give ideas to one another and have each others backs in the process as barnard prospectives :)) and @Chauffer it would be pretty cool if you and your daughters interested as well!
I can confirm that the deferral to acceptance path is definitely a possibility. They don’t defer a student they aren’t seriously considering accepting. My daughter has many friends who were initially deferred. By all means, work on your other applications, but after the first of the year send in a letter of continued interest, with an update on any additional accomplishments.
That’s a great idea. My daughter has zero social media due to her choice, although I’m sure a group like this would be beneficial and you all should definitely do that! Push on ladies your journey is just slightly longer and In a few short month is this will be a distant memory as you land in exactly the right place!
A group chat would be great.
thanks so much @divarose that actually helps put a lot into perspective and i really appreciate it!
if you all wanna put your instagrams or other methods of contact (we could even do a imessage groupchat)or even dm me if its possible(super new sorry haha!) i will be checking this thread often <3
