<p>So it looks like I am the first person to receive my deferral letter, but when others do, post here! </p>
<p>What are you going to send to help your application: essays, recommendations, etc.?</p>
<p>Hey ctgirl, what day was your letter postmarked?</p>
<p>Allriiiiiitte! Whats up defferal! Kinda bummed, but the app was a beast and a half, definately got some high qual essays to use on all the other regular apps.</p>
<p>ctgirl, im from CT as well, assuming you are. random but its all good. I sent in everything under the sun for early, so i guess ill just send a good fruitbasket for christmas. cant hurt!</p>
<p>can i just assume?</p>
<p>Yes, I'm from CT</p>
<p>My letter had two postmarks, one Dec. 10 and the other Dec. 13</p>
<p>could u post ur stats please?</p>
<p>Mine are posted in the official decisions thread, but a quick overview:
2300 SAT, 800 760 740 SAT II, rank 3/233, over 100 GPA, good ECs and recs, white female, mean interviewer :(</p>
<p>wow ctgirl, that really sucks. You are perfectly qualified as far as I can see.</p>
<p>Thanks, I still have regular decision to look forward to!</p>
<p>Being deffered is sexy!</p>
<p>We should make T-shirts!</p>
<p>No letter for me, I'm assuming deferral. I'll post in decisions when it's official.</p>
<p>Congratz' to all the deferrals!</p>
<p>After not receiving my letter today, I took a nap, and when I woke up, upon realizing I probably got deferred (hopefully not rejected!) I felt not unlike Gregor Samsa from Metamorphosis. I still feel like this is some kind of bad dream. In any case, I'll probably forget all about MIT soon (too many tests coming up and projects due). It's very much like the time I found out that Santa isn't real.</p>
<p>I totally see the connection between this and Metamorphosis, except hopefully we will be accepted RD unlike Gregor's end... </p>
<p>It's dissapinting, eh, but not a death sentence.</p>
<p>Yeah...I've been apprehending this moment for quite a while, so it's no surprise, but it's just so much more dissapointing once confirmed. Maybe the deferral letter should say "Congratulations, you've been selected to be deferred!" or "A for effort!" to dampen the effect; that would actually be pretty cool.</p>
<p>I didn't get rejected! [but also not accepted]</p>
<p>go all of us!</p>
<p>Deferred... sigh, back to sleep.</p>
<p>everyone deferred...read this: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=125531%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=125531</a></p>
<p>i think it should help a lot...because i've been a LOT calmer than i expected to be after being deferred...and i really think things will work out for all of us in the end. best of luck in RD, everyone.</p>
<p>and remember, if we really weren't cut out for MIT, they could have easily rejected us.</p>
<p>Deferred, no letter yet, though I did get a couple candy canes in my mailbox today. :)</p>
<p>It's much better to definately know now though, I can focus on the more important stuff that has to get done. </p>
<p>My stats are up in the decisions thread, and I realize that even if MIT doesn't want me, I can feel good because I know I've done alot/all I can before college. So, in any case, things should work out fine.</p>
<p>Deferred. Finding out implicitly was a pretty cool way of finding out, actually, all things considered. :) I don't see what the others are complaining about. </p>
