Hello there
I’m an applicant from Iran and, I’ve applied SCEA to Harvard. They deffered me and suggested that I study a PG year at Deerfield or Andover Instead of applying to colleges.
Since they told me they have connection with these academies and the admission committee member will send these schools letters suggesting me, what are my chance?
Your chances seem brilliant, in my opinion, especially considering that Harvard will send the schools recommendation letters for you.
However, this is only my opinion, and no forum or person can really tell you the outcome of the admission committee…
nevertheless, good luck!
Thanks for taking your time answering my question.
Do you know anyone who was in the same situation and got in?
Someone I know was suggested the same thing by Harvard, spent a year at Exeter (he plays football), and now he’s there.
@MAandMEmom thank you for answering! :x
Wait, how did you get deferred from Harvard? The decisions are not up yet
^ yeah how
@CrimsonZa @Theoddorre AO called me and discussed the issue over skype and there she told me Ill be deffred
@sungirl ermm… i don’t know what to say. Could you share some of ur stats to see what that AO was doing?
@MAandMEmom I have a question about the kid you referenced: was that kid given a formal deferral (guaranteed admission upon completionn of PG year without reapplication), or was it just strongly suggested that if he did a PG and reapplied that he would likely be offered admission at that point?
