well, now I’d see y’all in the threads of Yale, Stanford, Reed, MIT and Princeton for the RD.

Is anyone that got deferred planning on submitting additional documents? I think I will submit a letter of recommendation from a separate teacher.

I know being deferred isn’t terrible and I still have a shot, but I feel so hopeless about being admitted in the regular pool. To everyone deferred, hopefully you guys are accepted in March.

Deferred though any love for Harvard I had just kind of died out. Like, they didn’t even sent us an email informing us about the date (just announced it on their website and on a talk show), we were to get an email 15 minutes after 7:00pm to tell us our decisions were made (that didn’t came true for a lot of people that I know), and overall the whole process was kind of a mess. They have a large endowment so I’m less forgiving with these issues.
Plus, this might just be me, but whenever I had any interactions with the admissions office, they were just off. Like kind of rude but not quite there.
Meanwhile Stanford (applying regular decision) has been so far very friendly and Princeton is quite courteous. That might just be me though, honestly. My expectations were high with Harvard since it was my dream school since I was 6 (too high probably), but each day I kind of regretted wasting my early action decision on it. I got Japanese food though so I’m pretty happy right now. 4/10

So deferred now means that you are put into the regular pool and restrictions are removed … you may be able to do early decision2 at any schools that offer it .
I was accepted!!! I’m so grateful.

Deferred. 1600, 4.0, 6 APs all 5s, 800 Math II, somewhat unusual ECs. Was expecting this, but it still stings.

They’ve deferred far more students than they rejected. I was deferred so I’m unsure if they were interested or they were just deferring everyone… What can I infer from my deferral?
You can infer that you were amongst a pool of students whom they wanted to investigate further because at this time you all seem same. Start preparing your updates to AOs and try to be connected with them. They aren’t deferring everyone …I am rejected. Just think that they want to have a deep understanding of your character and personality so that they can make a final decision.

@intgirluy congrats. I had a feeling you’d make it, impressive candidates from underrepresented countries often do. Hope you will have the time of your life!
Congrats to the other admits as well.
