DId all the RD applicants receive their decisions already?
@emilymcg My daughter and a few others in her high school who got deferred from SOM in Mid January (they applied Early Action) have not heard back. Status still says “Decision Made” and “Deferred to Regular Decision”. We likely will not hear back until late March.
@lavalamp97 I applied early action and hear back from them about a month or two after applying

@youngm0rphine Congrats! Do you think they offer all the spots to EA applicants first, and then whatever is left over is offered to RD applicants?
@zestycucumber Congratulations!
my daughter was accepted last week early decision, she did get 2 emails before she got her congratulations package in the mail
I applied early action tp harpur and was deferred. My application status still says “deffered to regular” will this ever change? And since i was deferred do i hear back later that regular applicants? My friend applied regular and was accepted a few weeks ago we have very similar stats other than her sat/act being slightly higher…so i wasn’t sure if this meant that I’ve been rejected? Binghamton is my first choice and I’ve been in panic mode since my friends acceptance. Any help would be great please!
@kjp1616 I’m in the same boat! Binghamton is my number 1 and I was deferred from Harpur too. I emailed admissions and they said that if we had been deferred it is a GOOD sign and that it just meant they wanted to take a closer look at our applications. I know how you feel I’ve been freaking out for months but we should be hearing back by April 1, so I wouldn’t worry too much!
My status changed to “Decision Made” today. Haven’t gotten an email yet but I can pay the admission deposit. How long does it usually take to get an email after the status changes?
@rbk2704 I got an email at 3pm PST
If being deferred is a good sign then I don’t know why we’re hearing later than regular decision people… We’re definitely in the back of the pile now. Most of the deferred students have not heard back yet.
I honestly feel like I would have gotten my decision sooner if I had applied RD. All my friends who applied RD have already gotten their decisions meanwhile I’m just waiting probably until April 1st to find out anything

Any deferred people that have heard back… did you hear via email, status checker, or mail?
Nope…seems like only a very few deferred kids have heard anything yet
nothing yet here…ridiculous.
I wonder if they are going by school. It seems like a lot of people have been getting into Watson
Nursing deferred. Still nothing
