<p>I know this doesn't mean flat-out rejection, but it seems like it.... I'm being moved to the regular decision pool, which means my chances of getting in are lower than ever now! My letter says only 20% of ED deferrals will be accepted. It says, "As part of the Board's next review of your application, we will take into consideration your senior grades and any other new material you submit. We encourage you to do your best work in the next few months, as the Board will be looking for your continued achievement. " However, it doesn't give me any suggestions of new material to send them & it doesn't even who my admissions counselor is. Any advice on what to do now? :(</p>
<p>I got deferred too 
I’ve been laying in my bed crying for the last hour haha. I’m emailing Wellesley Admissions right now though to ask for clarification regarding that part of the decision letter! I’ll let you know what they say!</p>
<p>@lillygirl1997 Hey, it’s not so bad! At least we weren’t rejected. We still have a chance! It might look small, but I know we can do it if we put in as much effort as we can. If that doesn’t work, then hey, their loss! 
Glad to have someone in the same college-purgatory boat here.</p>
<p>@Astrofeline Thanks, and you too! I was worried I would check the official ED thread here and feel awful if I was the only person who didn’t get accepted haha.</p>
<p>@lillygirl1997 Ugh. I didn’t want to go back for the same reason. Hey, think we should start the “OFFICIAL Wellesley class of 2019 ED Deferral thread”? lol.
Also, is this site running very slowly for you too?</p>
<p>My replies keep doubling.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the deferred process is like? D: Is it just like being a RD candidate, or will we get the news a bit sooner than the rest? </p>
<p>@blimey911 I emailed them earlier and asked if there was any way I could be considered for early evaluation instead of regular decision!</p>
<p>@lillygirl1997 did you contact wellesley’s admission office or your area’s admission officer? </p>
<p>@blimey911 I emailed their admissions office, but now that I think about it I probably should have emailed the regional one… oops</p>
<p>AHAHA @lillygirl1997 nooo! I think you’re fine! I just don’t know how to get my regional admission officer’s email address! D:</p>
<p>@blimey911 <a href=“https://admission.wellesley.edu/secure/on_the_road/”>https://admission.wellesley.edu/secure/on_the_road/</a> I think is the link to find it? But I have no idea what I’m doing tbh</p>
<p>joining you guys here. I have absolutely no idea what to do next. this is not okay at all D: but i’d also much rather early evaluation than regular! so sick of waiting already…</p>
<p>@lillygirl1997 please keep us updated as to whether or not we can be considered as early evaluation candidate! </p>
<p>Ladies, the decision we received today might be insanely sad and we might be feeling hopeless right now, but I believe no matter what the end result turned out to be, we have grown because of this deferral. It is better to experience this kind of failure now than later on in life. We can learn some great problem solving skills and it will force us to work even harder from now on! </p>
<p>Good luck to you all! </p>
<p>I emailed my interviewer because I don’t know who my admissions counselor is… lol.</p>
<p>@lilmissyy Failure!??! This is great! I didn’t think I would have a CHANCE at Wellesley! Have you seen my stats in the results thread?</p>
<p>I can probably answer blimey911’s question about whether you find out earlier if deferred to RD… or at least give you our experience from last year. My D applied EE and was deferred to RD. She did not get her decision any earlier than a normal RD applicant. (She was waitlisted. Talk about purgatory! Luckily, though, she’d been accepted at her first choice school already, so it was all fine )</p>
<p>Although I know this is a major heartbreak, I would really advise you ladies to look hard at other schools now and find other places you’d love. Don’t keep your hearts set on Wellesley. Then if you do get in RD it will be wonderful but not heartbreaking if you don’t. I know lots of people say “you end up where you should be” and that sounds cliche but I do think it’s true. My D is absolutely in love with, and thriving at, her college now. It’s the perfect place for her.</p>
<p>What schools are you guys applying to now? </p>
<p>Hey everyone~ joining the deferral thread! Hoping to call Wellesley to ask about EE either today or Monday. I know that others say that we shouldn’t have our hearts set on Wellesley, but I still do. It’s not really somehing you decide, but its something you feel, and the goal is to make Admission feel the same way about you! So, I, for one, am continuing to pursue Wellesley with renewed vigour. </p>
<p>But, as for other schools, I’m also going to apply to Middlebury and Swarthmore, and, if I’m accepted to neither, then my safety is Elizabethtown. I also considered Macalaser, but recently decided that it wasn’t the school for me. </p>
<p>First of all , I am very surprised that any of the people in this thread were deferred. Yes, I’m taking to you, @lillygirl1997, @blimey911, @msbubbles, @ToraTori, and @lilmissyy… You are all WAY overqualified to be at Wellesley and it’s nothing to take personally by any means. The more I think about my deferral, the more I am amazed by the fact that they thought I was good enough to take a second look at. I know we can easily say something like, “Well if we were good enough, we should have gotten in,” but the point is we can’t change that and should be grateful we now have a second opportunity to show them what we’re made of! Let’s focus more on what we can do now as opposed to what could have/should have happened. Think about it this way: they were so interested in us, they are using twice the effort they used on people who were admitted…? I don’t know, man.
Sorry that was probably the worst thing you’ve ever heard. I am made for science, not writing.</p>
<p>@ToraTori I know, right? My counselors immediately started suggesting other schools when I told them I was deferred. Like, hold on! I still have a chance . Ugh.</p>
<p>My other choices are Marist College, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, Sacred Heart U, U. of Saint Joseph (saftey), Lehigh U, Boston College (YEAH RIGHT!!), and Emanuel College at the moment.
But… Wellesley tho…</p>
