ED waitlisted?

<p>1.If you get waitlisted in the college where you applyed ED,can you withdraw your application then?Or you have to wait until their final decision?
2.What does deferred mean?When you get the college letter with that status</p>

<p>If you're deferred, that means they put your application into the Regular Decision pool to be viewed with the rest of the non-ED applications. This means you still have a chance of being accepted, but they wanted to review your application again at a different time... and you will hear their decision at the time that Regular Decisions come out. </p>

<p>And yes, you can tell the school that you would like your application to be thrown out at any time... but there's no reason to do that because if you get accepted it doesn't mean you have to go there since you essentially are becoming a Regular Decision applicant.</p>

<p>Oh, and one more thing. When an ED applicant is deferred, the decision they receive during Regular Decision will only be "Accepted" or "Rejected"... I don't believe they waitlist students who were deferred ED. Maybe someone else can confirm that.</p>

<p>Everything that QuakerOats said is valid, but I don't know about the Regular Decision either yes or no. I think that waitlisting is still an option =).</p>

<p>Yes but what if a person doesnt get deferred but waitlisted.Does he have a chance or should he just pull out his application</p>

<p>can't get waitlisted after ED, you'd get deferred first then waitlisted in RD.</p>

<p>You are no longer bound by ED if you're not accepted in that round so there's no harm in staying on the waiting list if you're still interested in the school.</p>

<p>k got that.Ty</p>

<p>future13: last year, Emory waitlisted some EDII applicants (one of them was on CC)...he was eventually accepted AFTER RD applicants responded on May 1.....I do know of others who were waitlisted from Emory EDII, though, who were eventually rejected (after May 1)....</p>

<p>ED waitlists are not binding if that was your original q...you are not obligated under the contract unless you are accepted during the ED period.</p>

<p>My friend who went to Georgetown this year got deferred ED and THEN waitlisted, so it is possible.</p>

<p>I bet you my friend's eventual acceptance was a bazillion times better than a normal ED/RD acceptance.</p>
