Deferred from Tulane, Chance at others??!?!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>So I got deferred, and I'm pretty scared what's going to become of my college search..</p>

<p>I have about a 3.75W GPA with an upwards slope with a 2100 (610R 740M 750W), and a good essay w/Varsity Lax. Coming fro a top 10 HS in FL, all courses either honors or AP.</p>

<p>I've applied to/or am applying it.</p>

<p>UGA
UF
SMU
University of Colorado
GWU
USC
University of Miami
College of Charleston
Georgetown
UCF </p>

<p>where do I stand at these? I'm pretty nervous, but I'm sure I'll get in a few places... Right?</p>

<p>Sorry to hear about Tulane. I would add more safeties.</p>

3

<p>Well I’m pretty sure I’m basically in at University of Colorado or Charleston, and if all else fails I’d be very happy at either of these.</p>

4

<p>Sorry to hear about Tulane. Frankly, I’m shocked, because your scores are good. I guess they would have preferred that your Writing score be your CR score. However, I think you’ll still get in.</p>

<p>Do you need aid?</p>

<p>What about Fordham? or possibly Holy Cross? I think your chances at Georgetown are iffy. Yes, you’re likely in at Colorado and Charleston. :)</p>

5

<p>You’ll get into more than Colorado and Charleston, and you should be in there. Don’t worry.</p>

<p>OP is a double legacy at Tulane; we are not hearing the whole story…
sorry about the deferral; given the legacy, and if you really care, may want to call down to NOLA and find out what to do to prop up your app for RD…</p>

<p>OP is a double legacy at Tulane; we are not hearing the whole story…</p>

<p>Is there more to the story? Or, was there possibly a mistake on the transcript or something? Did your best test scores get sent???</p>

8

<p>I think the GPA is 3.75W(Weighted) so that means the un-weighted GPA is probably low, is that the correct guess?</p>

9

<p>columbia-student: we have already seen others accepted with lower GPA’s this year…unless the UW is below 3.0?</p>

<p>fallenchemist may want to chime in, but I don’t get the feeling that Tulane is all about stats anyway…</p>

10

<p>yield-protection? anyone ?</p>

11

<p>I got deferred to =(…do you think we still have a chance at getting in??</p>

12

<p>i have a feeling i’ll get in…</p>

<p>i heard they got more early apps then usual this year, so maybe they just filled up their spots to quickly?</p>

<p>I don’t know, I guess I’ll go into Guidance and make sure they got my correct scores.</p>

13

<p>THAT’S so weird you got deferred.
I didn’t have your SAT scores or your credentials, so maybe Tulane’s hating on you, but I think that your credentials are more than adequate, so don’t let this one get you down!</p>

14

<p>And I really didn’t think I’d have a shot at Georgetown, but my mom made me apply.</p>

<p>It’s all good, I really don’t have any desire to go to Tulane, they just gave me the free app so I did it just to do it.</p>

<p>But about Georgetown, my buddy who has around a 4.6W and a 2100 SAT and outrageous ECs went in for his interview with the local interviewer and said it was awkward and that he didn’t have much of a connection/the interviewer seemed to not like him…</p>

<p>But with me it was the complete opposite, we were talking up a storm, and found we had alot in common. I got her talking and orginally she told me I would be there an hour and I ended up being there talking for and hour and a half!!</p>

<p>I’m sure the interview doesn’t hold that much weight at a school like Georgetown, but I’m sure she’ll give me a great report! Before I left she was telling me how regardless of where I go I’ll be really successful and to not get caught up in the whole process which made me happy :)</p>

<p>I’ve always felt that I was a really personable social person, and that really helped me in this case!</p>

15

<p>My interview for Georgetown was awkward (it was with an alum who works for the governor, so he was a little intimidating), but overall, I think it went well. I hope everything goes well for you (Georgetown letters are mailed tomorrow for EA, fyi). SOO NERVOUS, good luck!</p>

16

<p>but yeah just kinda a bummer coming home from my vacation to NYC and having my Tulane letter there, it being my first news of any college, and getting deferred!</p>

<p>but it’s all good, it’ll all work out…</p>

<p>I got in all my stuff for EA, but never got any confirmation or anything, and only did my interview last week!</p>

<p>I really hope I’m still up for EA ah</p>
