GPA: 3.93, most rigorous courseload
APs: Chemistry, Euro History, US History, French, English Lit. (every one offered at HS, except spanish)
Major: Chem
Essays/Recs: very good, creative
Interview: very good</p>

<p>Anyone know a deferees chances in RD?</p>

<p>I think it's something like 10% of deferred EAers are accepted RD. I'm in the same boat as you...deferred EA. Good luck to you!</p>

3

<p>Yeah, I'm also in the same boat. I wrote a letter too, but I didn't visit. Oh well, best of luck!</p>

4

<p>Deferred EA too. Didn't write a letter, but my sister attends. (SFS'10). Good Luck to all!</p>

5

<p>i was also deferred early. i sent an extra recommendation, but no nothing else. i'm so nervous!</p>

6

<p>My son was deferred EA as well. He sent in a letter talking about his additional activities and honors for senior year. Not holding our breath.</p>

7

<p>also deferred, visited in the summer....im just hoping my rejection doesnt say like, "you are so bad we do not want you to applyto georgetown until 2013"</p>

<p>34 on the ACT and deferred...that's ridiculous...why we had to be born in 1990 and not '89 or '91...</p>

8

<p>WOW, i dnt know how u got deffered, n e thing you can think of? I would think you will be accepted, but I would have told u that if you applied RD. Now I am just confused.</p>

Being deferred is the worst thing. If I get waitlisted I am done. I think I would rather be denied than waitlisted.</p>

<p>btw...amyank489....is this year worse than others?</p>

10

<p>from what i have read and heard, yaa, being born in 1990 and having to apply this year was tougher then ever before. I know every last one of my colleges saw record applicants... and supposedly next years numbers will decrease slightly because there were less births in '91.</p>

11

<p>elysium--werent you a little suprised with the deferral, even though admissions are so unpredictable? according to other peoples stats who were accepted early, i feel like we have what it takes..good luck!</p>

<p>good luck to everyone this week!!</p>

12

<p>Our state has an absolute cutoff of 5 yrs old by October 15th for kindergarten entrance, so if you were born in the latter part of 1989 you are also in the class of 2008. </p>

<p>If it makes you 90ers feel any better. :)</p>

13

<p>Actually, I heard '91 will be as tough, if not tougher, than '90.</p>

14

<p>CK---I was surprised, and disappointed. But what are you gonna do? I'm just depressed now because I was just rejected from Duke and Rice(within a span of ten minutes). I am extremely desperate to get in to Georgetown. haha. but best of luck to all of you. hopefully we'll all be in D.C. next year.</p>

15

<p>ohh im sorry to hear that--thats really suprising!!!! idk what some colleges are thinking when they reject candidates like you! if gtown doesnt work out, ive been accepted to colgate, bc, villanova and a few others, all of which i love..but hopefully ill get into GU!!</p>

16

<p>Yeah... I'm sure everything will work out. All of those schools would be amazing to go to.
For me its basically GWU or Edinburgh. I've lost all hope for anywhere else now. haha. And the wait for gerogetown is excruciatingly long...</p>

17

<p>with the being born in '90 thing ive heard from many places and college websites that its gonna keep getting tougher and that either people born in '92 or '93 will get the worst of it and then its gonna get a little bit easier</p>

18

<p>If you got deferred can you be waitlisted?</p>

19

<p>nope. Georgetown just denies or accepts EA applicants.</p>

20

<p>Do you mean that in the RD period they just deny or accept former EA applicants who were deferred in Dec.?</p>
