<p>Ohhh no. Apparently there's going to be lots of snow here tomorrow...I may have to bribe the mailman.</p>
<p>i'm on long island... i don't think that's too far though. if i don't get it tomorrow im gonna freakkkk.</p>
<p>Pastafarian- I thought of the same thing, but I remembered the US postal service's unofficial motto:</p>
<p>Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.</p>
<p>So that better be true, heheh!</p>
<p>Aaaah, I am SO happy for you, Lstern! So exciting!</p>
<p>Yay!!! Congratulations!</p>
<p>i got deferred... well.. i was kinda on the verge of admit/reject. i hope i have some chance to rd (although usually defer=reject). I am disappointed.</p>
<p>But LStern.. congratulations. you were probably better applicant than i am... hope i could see you next year!</p>
<p>Is that true; does defer usually precede an RD rejection? Obviously by necessity of the admissions stats it would, but does anyone know the stats specific to ED deferrals?</p>
<p>Last year, as far as I know, 6 people got in after being deferred (about 30-40 were deferred). A lot of it is just keeping up contact with Admissions after being deferred...one of the famous cases of my year made a video asking for acceptance that is now very well known on campus, haha.</p>
<p>I GOT IN!</p>
<p>see you next year, Lstern (and hopefully others)!!!!!!</p>
<p>Yay Lstern and another anomaly!!!...</p>
<p>and forgetmenots, is it scary that i know exactly who you're talking about and have seen the video on the internet? i think maybe i'm too obsessed with swat, but i swear i'm not stalking anyone...just really, really obsessed.</p>
<p>Might as well get it over with... rejected.</p>
<p>The only problem I have now is that I don't have any money to send other applications right now, which is kind of distressing.</p>
<p>rejected...</p>
<p>the letter was so impersonal. I wish I knew what I did wrong. My grades were high, I've been taking the highest courseload possible, I have a bunch of legit extra curriculars... I just don't get it. I wish they'd tell us (the rejects) what we did wrong so that we could improve stuff (like essays or something). I'm fuming/hysterical/borderline in tears right now so I'm gonna go and plunge into college applications. Bye.</p>
<p>Accepted! =D </p>
<p>I'm sorry, NeuroticSenior and Brillar. Ack.</p>
<p>Deferred...oh well. They must have liked me at least a little bit, right?</p>
<p>Pastafarian, love your deferral.</p>
<p>Now you have time to show tons of interest and get in anyway.</p>
<p>Deferred too. Which is a good thing, I guess...but it limits my ability to induce a chocolate coma or celebrate, and means that my winter break is going to be severely unpleasant.</p>
<p>Does it seem to anyone else as if three CC referrals indicates a large quantity? Is this bad?</p>
<p>I'm so sorry, guys. My best friend got deferred today, so I know (through association) the sadness...you'll all get into great schools and be happy anyway, though, I'm sure!</p>
<p>Swat had a 10% increase in ED applications this year, which is a huge chunk since they did not accept many (only a few) more people than last year. This may mean that there were more deferrals, or that people who would've gotten in in last year's application pool missed the cutoff this year...regardless, I doubt it means that deferrals are insanely on the rise. That wouldn't be a smart thing for Swarthmore to do.</p>
<p>really? that's terrible.. that means more deferral = less chance of getting in, right? I was strongly wishing that swat just deferred people who might have some chance of getting in.. I hate how competitive this has to be. honestly, how many koreans apply to swat for ED? I thought my approach as a creative writer, and strong biology student would work out.. now that i got deferred, i should have applied to less competitive school for ED</p>
<p>but on the other hand, if I got deferred by Swat, which usually don't defer people, would I have a high chance with a little less intense school like hopkins?</p>
<p>There's always EDII, if you can make it.</p>
