<p>Hey all:</p>
<p>So I was deferred from UVM until regular admission, and they suggest that I send in a statement of interest. While I understand generally what this should include, does anyone have any suggestions on what I should include and what I shouldn't include? Also, is there anything else that I can do to help my chances of getting accepted (ie. anything else to send)?</p>
<p>How did you find out already? Were you a VIP applicant or an EA applicant? I would imagine that you will need to send your mid-year grades. In addition, I would send an update on your EC activities. Not sure what else you could do to improve your chances. My son is anxiously waiting for an answer from UVM, but I fear he may also be deferred.</p>
<p>Have you visited the campus? If so, and you were pleased, I'd talk that up. I would also think about what I was interested in studying, and use the course book to find course subjects that interest you. And if I had a strong personal reason to want to be at UVM, I'd go with that. Is being at a state college important but you don't want a school so large you are lost? Do you like snow? Bottom line is to tell them your interests and why UVM can meet them.</p>
<p>Fact is that your numbers are good enough to be accepted. Now tell them why they should do it.</p>
