<p>i was too busy with my RD stuff to do my Yale thing. I wanna send in a why Yale letter plus new essays. is it okay to do it now?</p>
<p>me also defeered from singapore
well i called them and they said they dunnot "actively recommend" essay replacements.
also they said they are presently reviewing RD applicants and they will review deffered ED apps later.so u still have time</p>
<p>Do not send new essays. Update on awards/extracurriculars and a letter reiterating Yale is still #1 (but only if you mean it) are the only things I'd send at this point.</p>
<p>i accidently haven't sent in my teacher rec's yet...
is this bad??????????!</p>
<p>admissionsaddict actually they said that sending new essays will not affect my admission decision
now i think they were just lying since you as a alumni interviewer say so
well my old essays were bad. actually not bad just that my new essays are great and i think they can help me
well i planned to send my new essays with a i still love u letter.
now do you recommend this??
please help</p>
<p>Who knows 123college? If you say your first ones were bad, yet you were still deferred, how can any of us give you solid advice beyond our speculation? I'm sympathetic with your scenario but unless someone is really pulling for your file, I don't think the new essays will make a difference. I'm sure if you called the admissions office, they'd tell you NOT to send them in. Officially, I'm sure that's the stance because they don't want a flood of revised essays for each of their thousands of deferees. But a lone situation....</p>
<p>Who knows.</p>
<p>hm. i was really hoping to send new essays in, because according to a counselor it's "truly unique and original as far as she could tell." could i still? if they say they're gonna re-read my application for RD anyway, what difference would it make if i replace my old ones with new essays of the same lengths?</p>
<p>this year they accepted more people for EA and there'll be fewer RD apps especially- so i hope they won't be as irritated as they were in the past, if they even were.</p>
<p>any previous deferree around here who sent in new essays? what happened to you in the end?</p>
<p>thanks everyone :D I'm writing my love letter to yale now! probably gonna post everything tmr (and by express mail since i'm an international), so you'd help alot if you could reply by then! 123college, if you're also posting tmr, we might meet each other at killiney road post office (the only one open on sundays) hahaha</p>
<p>im going to fax them in.its faster i think</p>
<p>hm, i probably sound archaic here but i don't trust fax as much as i trust post. but thats just me :P they're gonna have to sort out faxes as well anyway that'd take time too, and i think it might be easier for my stuff to get lost in a pile of undifferentiated printing paper than in individual envelopes.</p>
<p>u might wanna consider speedpost - it gets there in 3-4 days tops, but its abt $40 per envelope.</p>

<p>i don't think that's true at all. the fact that they accepted more people EA won't change the number of RD apps they have to go through. i think the number might even go up, since no potential candidates who would otherwise have applied ED/SCEA to P or H are still applying to Y. and plus, they had such an increase in EA applicants, i think they still have roughly the same number of deferrees apps to go through, do they not?</p>
<p>well i just hope that it won't be counted against me.</p>
<p>bump...</p>
<p>I believe that if you've already been deferred, there's not much else they can do to you (besides rejection--which you've already braced yourself for since the deferral, I hope), so just keep sending things!</p>
