<p>I was deferred from the Wharton ED. Though I'm thankful for not getting rejected, it sucks that I won't know till April. I'm an international and the first person applying to US from my city, thus don't know much about admission process. So CC is pretty much the only thing I have. I'd like to ask for your help in re-thinking my list. </p>
<p>Does being deferred from Wharton mean that I am a competitive applicant for other slightly less selective but still competitive schools ? The schools I'm applying to right now are HYPS, cornell,Columbia, Duke, Stern, BHP at UT, Umich, Uva, UCB, UCLA. I am re-taking the SAT reasoning and subject tests. Is getting deferred from Wharton any indicator of my chances at the these schools? Any input will be highly appreciated. Thanks</p>
<p>I think you stated the positives beautifully! Stern is slightly less competitive so I would say you have a great chance there, plus I’d prefer NY over Philly… However, I think the Ivys might yield a similar verdict for you & Duke. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Hey no worries absingha…
I got rejected to Stanford SCEA this year, and I know what you feel like.
Remember that all of the Ivies are very crazy. They have no methodology (there’s no indicator among the ivies… Some people will get accepted to Harvard [hardest in terms of % accepted] and then rejected to Cornell [much higher % accepted], so getting deferred to Wharton is absolutely no indication to the other decisions. Don’t freak yourself out by doubting yourself so much. Put your heart into your other applications, and remember that YOU WILL GO SOMEWHERE GREAT, and YOU WILL LOVE WHERE YOU GO.</p>
<p>Can you give us your stats and whether you need financial aid?
That would help in answering you.</p>
