<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I was just excited about tomorrow, and decided I would create a thread for all the ED II applicants. I'm nervous and have no idea what to expect!
Good luck to everbody!</p>
<p>So where is everybody from? And what other colleges have you guys applied to?</p>
<p>Arghhhhhh. Got deferred EDII. </p>
<p>Just a question. Does Midd only Accept or Defer its ED II applicants? Or can they also reject straightaway without consideration in RD?</p>
<p>Secondly, is deferral essentially a rejection? I mean wouldn’t the acceptance rate for deferrals be lower than RD applicants? Surely, if I was good enough I would have been accepted in ED group. Whats your opinion? Strange thing it is, the deferral. ‘Rejection in disguise’ :(</p>
<p>Don’t give up! Others may have the statistics, but people definitely get in after being deferred (I might have read 15 - 20%). 2 of the two I know who applied EDII got in regular decision. See what your counselor says, but I would send them a letter reiterating your interest and highlighting any new awards or activities.</p>
<p>Supposedly, less than 10% of deferred ED applicants get in…someone in admissions told me that two years ago.</p>
<p>Well… even if that number is accurate at 10%, it’s not a no. And I believe schools absolutely outright reject at all stages (ED I, II, RD). </p>
<p>If it is one of your top schools and especially if it’s at the very top, I would absolutely write a note of interest explaining more or less, “Why Midd?”</p>
