Deferred from Harvard?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>Harvard College admissions this year was more competitive than any other year! They got over 20% more applicants for early action this year.</p>

<p>What does being deferred mean with Harvard? Do they just want to see their regular pool and then admit off that?</p>

<p>After being deferred, is there still a chance at being admitted? What can I do to help be admitted in the regular round?</p>

<p>Does calling and asking what you can improve you application or what the weak spots were annoy admissions?</p>

<p>Also, if accepted to Harvard I will definitely attend, no matter what. Should I tell them that?</p>

<p>I don't want to post my stats but I have a lot of friends who were admitted early with similar stats as me. </p>

<p>I am working on other apps and trying to remain optimistic about this. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to reply. I really appreciate it!</p>

<p>We had 16% chance with Early. Now it will be less than 3% chance (100 people from the deferred 4,292) with Regular. Won’t be optimistic</p>

<p>You have 20 days to concentrate on all your other apps. You should move on and not pay attention to Harvard app anymore.</p>
