<p>I was already accepted EA. But my friend who applied early action was deferred, and it seems like no one who was deferred has gotten a letter yet, even though many regular decision people have. I feel like people who are deferred are being pushed to the back of all regular decisions. So it's almost like if you don't have the grades to apply EA and definitely be accepted (of course I'm aware that strong grades don't necessarily mean acceptance) then you're hurting your chances of actually getting in. I'm not sure if that makes sense.</p>
<p>I don’t think it hurts, if anything it demonstrates a student’s drive, motivation, and interest in the school when they apply early action. It seems to me like this year they just accepted the best of the best EA. I was deferred, still haven’t heard yet but I know if they are making the choice between me and someone else with equal stats who did not apply early action, the choice would be me.</p>
<p>I think they’re only accepting the best of the RD applicants now. I know people who applied RD and still have not heard back.</p>
<p>My daughter was deferred too. I did see some RD on the other thread that were admitted. I have seen people admitted with lower stats and alot from out of state. None of this really makes sense.</p>
<p>Even a lot of the EA decisions didn’t make sense- saw a lot of people with lower stats be admitted. And of the RD decisions I’ve seen some of them are definitely above average but others are completely average. </p>
<p>As far as our of state students go, I know most colleges really want to accept as many out of state students as they can as they pay more than double what in state students pay.</p>
<p>@vbcucs you are absolutely right…its sad to see someone getting admitted with lower stats…its really not right.
This seems to be common that Bing takes out of state with lower stats…ya they pay more. Bottom line.</p>
