Deferred and questioning

Applying to College
1

<p>I was accepted at my tied first choice school, Beloit, and deferred at my other tied first choice school, UChicago. For my other top choices, Kenyon and Oberlin, I won't hear from until April 1st, along with UChicago. What should I do? I want to make a decision!</p>

<p>LOL don’t be hasty! Wait until everything comes out.
I know it’s a hard wait, but be happy that you’ve already been accepted to one!
Good luck ;D</p>

<p>I agree with the above poster. Don’t be hasty. If you got deferred that means they didn’t want to make a decision which is a good thing because it means you have a plausible chance for RD. Keep your options open. Good luck!</p>

<p>Well if they’re really tired for first, what is going to lead you to decide?<br>
I mean if you’re comfortable going to Beloit even if you get accepted to UChicago in April… then by all means go ahead. If not then it’s best to just wait…</p>

<p>It’s so unlikely to get into Chicago if you get deferred…
I’m deferred too, but they defer like 65% of people who apply EA</p>

<p>I like Beloit because it’s small and because of their known anthro program, and the kids are down-to-earth and friendly. At UChicago, it’s larger and the kids are very classy (think Eastern prep), but they also have a very “good” anthro program. I like them both for different reasons. Being classy isn’t bad, but I just don’t know if it’s “me.” </p>

<p>I stayed the night with a gal there and in their dining hall, and the girls that I saw wore heels, scarves, nice coats, etc. It’s not bad, it’s just that the cultures of the schools are so different. I don’t shop at J. Crew or whatever that store is lol. I don’t look like I came out of a magazine haha. The girl I stayed with went to a prep school and was very wealthy. Her roomate was from Princeton NJ and was Ivy material. They’re just so different. At Beloit, guys were wearing PJs in the library. :)</p>
