<p>So I was deferred EA and my guidance counselor gave me advice to send in extra material. Have you guys done anything to your application since your deferral?</p>
<p>Sent in 7th semester transcripts and shot an email to my regional admissions counselor telling a little bit about why I deserve to be in the class of 2016.</p>
<p>Sent in 7th semester transcripts, and got another letter of rec from my bio honors teacher who taught as a professor at U of c a little while back. I figured by applying early that stated my intent more so than any additional letter I could write.</p>
<p>Emailed my regional counselor about 30 minutes after I was deferred telling her that chicago was still my first choice. Sent in an updated activity resume and mid-year grades. Oh, and of course start freaking out because decisions are only 4 days away.</p>
<p>I did pretty much the same as above, sending in mid-year grades (which I hope made a difference, as I was really proud of my semester work) and an email to my regional counselor with a reiteration of why UChicago was right for me.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I didn’t have any updates award or activity wise, although I did have a really successful interview in between my deferral and the time for submitting new info. I don’t even know if they considered the interview report, but I can hope!</p>
<p>I emailed my regional counselor and told her that UChicago is still my first choice, sent my mid-year transcript (which I’m pretty proud of), submitted some extra creative writing documents, and turned in an award/activities update. I also had an interview, which I think went pretty well. God, I really hope that those things had some kind of effect. I want to get in so badly.</p>
<p>Meep. I sent in my first semester transcript, had an alumni interview, wrote a letter to my regional counselor(I spent like 3 days writing and rewriting it D: ), and sent in an extra recommendation written only for UChicago. Also, my school counselor sent in a letter with my transcript. Oh, and I updated my regional counselor on a few things like NMF and what have you. When it’s all written out, it seems like it might be overkill, but… at least I can know that I did everything I could! And passion is a good thing, right…!? Good luck on to everyone! ^_^</p>
<p>My son did not do anything other than send his mid year grades. He was pretty disapointed that he took the time to get his application in early but that U Chicago was not willing to give him a straight up answer whether that answer is yes or no.</p>
