Deferred from ED, what new materials can I send to Admissions?

Applying to College

<p>Hello, I was deferred from Wake Forest back in November and I was wondering what I can do to keep my application active. This is what the letter said"</p>

<p>"Often members of the admissions committee find that in order to make a final admissions decision on an Early Decision applicant, additional information is needed. Our committee requests that you have submitted to us grades from the first semester of your senior year and any academic materials that you wish the the Committee to consider"</p>

<p>I think I was deferred for the grades as the letter suggests, However, aside from sending in the first semester grades (so far all As), what else can I do? </p>

<p>I was thinking of sending an extra letter of recommendation from an internship or employer? and also a letter to the Admissions board informing them on what I have been doing lately with clubs (new awards, etc) and that WFU is still my number first choice.</p>

<p>Sorry for all the questions!, but lastly, does "any academic materials that you wish" mean academic materials such as essays from school, etc, or as in new SATs, etc?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!!</p>

<p>I’d think it might mean awards or somesuch, too.</p>

<p>I think your grades will be the most important criteria, but you should be able to submit all the other materials you mentioned such as additional recommendations and awards. I do not think you need to retake the SAT.</p>

<p>If you have new and higher SAT or SAT II scores to report, then send a new score report along with a note highlighting the improved scores and any other awards or achievements.</p>

<p>I do not think they are looking for essays from school, but your first semester grade report and any academic accomplishments that were not reported when you originally applied.</p>
