<p>Hi,
Unfortunately I've been deferred at Colgate and I'm debating applying EDII elsewhere, but before I do that, I was wondering if anybody knew the percentage of deferred applicants that are later admitted. For some schools it's significantly harder for a deferred applicant to get in than others. What do you guys recommend? Thanks.</p>
<p>Hey - too bad…what were your stats?..Colgate is Need Aware still…do you need Financial Aid? If deferred EDI, I would just apply regular decision as I dont think EDII will improve your chances drastically if at all.</p>
<p>Show your continued interest in colgate. Submit any significant updates in your resume like awards, etc.</p>
<p>Depends. This may be a good time to do a reality check. If you have another school in mind which is “safer.” that is your stats are above the 50-70ile, you may wish to do EDII there. My observation is that Early decision works best when you are not reaching unless you are a recruited athlete or minority.</p>
