Deferred then Waitlisted?

<p>do u guys think it's possible to be deferred from early decision and then be waitlisted for regular? i mean i really want to look forward to a solid concrete decision finally</p>

<p>Anything is possible, but I think it's highly unlikely. Good luck!</p>

<p>This happened to a friend of mine who applied to Brown.</p>

<p>i guess its possible but waitlisting at ivy league schools = polite rejection</p>

<p>From what I've seen (complete speculation), Columbia tends to throw more people on the waitinglist moreso than the other Ivy League schools.</p>

<p>i know 2 people (1 seas, 1 cc) who got in off waitlist</p>

<p>oh man ... deferral followed by waitlist ... that's harsh :(</p>

<p>It's happened to many of my acquaintances. My cousin was deferred and then waitlisted by Princeton- went to Harvard instead. At the same time, a friend of mine who was deferred and then waitlisted by Harvard ended up in Columbia.</p>
