Deferred. Do I have a chance?

Hey guys I applied to Wash U ED but I ended up with a deferral. Do I have a chance at all? I’ve set a letter of deferral to my regional officer already but is it all in vain? What percent of the class was deferred and how many people actually end up getting accepted after being deferred? What should I do? Thank you.

Of course you do! I don’t have stats but they wouldn’t waste their time or yours if they were not still very interested in you. And while I know you are disappointed, this lets you now consider other options as well as financial aid and scholarships before making the best decision for you. I was accepted and am very excited but a small part of me would liked to have had an opportunity to apply to other schools high on my list and see how it plays out. I won’t get that chance - it’s a tradeoff. So take advantage of it and best of luck…
