MY son applied EA1 and was deferred to the Regular Decision pool. WPI is his first choice and he has done really well thus far for his Senior year. His mid-year transcripts were sent by his HS today. Given that the admissions office now has all his materials, I wonder if they entertain considering him with the EA2 applicants since WPI is his first choice.
Your son can request to have it changed. Since it is only two months or less left before even RD decisions coming out, I am not sure the difference would be significant.
I’d write (or have him write) to the admissions office. They’ll probably be more than happy to change that upon request.
Thanks, he did. He was told it is too late to do so because they are almost done with the ED2 decisions.
@ProudPapa2000, if he hasn’t done so already, you should encourage your son to write to his admissions counselor. He should expressly tell him or her that WPI remains his first choice, the reasons why, and also provide his positive updates (grades, activity updates, etc.). Doesn’t hurt to also ask if there is any other information or steps that he can take in the interim. Good luck!
