Deferred Now What?

<p>I'm so over dulce's bitterness, so I have a better idea for everybody. Why dont we just completely ignore her posts and actually have the deferred people talk about what they need to get into penn. I mean it's pointless for us to try to reason with an idiot anyways. The only reason she keeps posting is cause she probably likes being the center of controversy. So I say: fu ck her and let her live her own miserable life and let us be concerned about our own issues, not some immature brat's issues</p>

<p>here, here!</p>

<p>how many of you applied to a dual program</p>

<p>hmm not me. anyone know if its possible for deferred kids to still get an interview....if we didnt for the ED round?</p>

<p>yep it is. my sisters good friend goes to penn and works in the admission office i called her the other day and asked her that. she said helps a ton to fly up and meet your adcon if you havent seen her yet</p>

<p>A bulb just lit up! I never bothered to meet my adcom from my area!!!
That's probably why I got deferred!
NOw I get it!</p>

<p>that could be a big deal if your a legacy dulce but i wouldn’t bother now since you hate Penn</p>

<p>did you go for a legacy interview</p>

<p>is it easier to get in georgetown than penn</p>

<p>from what ive heard
georgetown is easier than penn.</p>

<p>and as for meeting the adcom
i met my director back in july, and pretty much called her for any help i needed....dont know if it really helped...</p>

<p>has anyone written their "im-still-interested-in-penn-even-though-they-deferred me" letter yet?</p>

<p>I wrote mine the day after I was deferred for closure
It is still rough though because I haven’t had my English teacher look at it yet
"I'm Dyslexic and my grammar sucks" but anyway I need to get that in ASAP because nursing decision come out in mid feb.</p>

<p>I was actually thinking about flying all the way there to meet my RD... but I mean would it be worth the price flying all the way from Mexico? Should I make an appointment first or how would that work?</p>

<p>My dad already told me that if it really really helps, then I can go.</p>

<p>You need to make an appointment my sisters friend works at the international desk in fact ( i think for south korea) but i would call and ask after break if you can make an appointment or just schedule a phone interview</p>

<p>Can you seriously do that? Request an appointment with your regional director?? Because if you could... wouldn't everybody? How would the RDs find time?</p>

<p>douche le dulce: plz no more kthx</p>

<p>I did with beth downing. I saw her at the school and I talked to her on the phone like 4 times</p>

<p>okay so...do you send the letter to your RD? by mail? and when would it be considered "too late" to send the letter?</p>

<p>also..should i send another rec from my AP lit teacher who knows me a little better by this time? i know it'd be a great rec...but i sent 3 the first time (with a supp. rec). would that be too many?</p>

<p>joanna 180, as far as when would be "too late", I had interviewed with the alumni council and i got a sort of generic letter for deferred students who interviewed with them, and it "recommends" if you are still interested to write a letter in late January...
if that helps at all.</p>

<p>This deferred thing is no fun :(</p>

<p>Joanna I would not send it unless you were deferred.
you could call or email</p>

<p>I havent sent mine in yet (I was deferred from wharton), would mailing it on January 1st be too late?</p>
