<p>hey, anyone deferred frm any school please post. Also admitted students who were deferred and then after admitted post what did you did to recover?</p>
<p>I am an MHC alum, don't know their deferred policies, though. </p>
<p>I suspect deferred means you are still in the running and meet their expectations for students admitted but there were other people somehow "similar" in the ED group who were stronger candidates. Now your admission will depend on luck in terms of who else is in the RD pool and how much you "stand out" from the others, but you have a slight advantage because they now know they are your first choice and you are not using them as a "safety" for somewhere else.</p>
<p>So all I can say is, Good Luck!</p>
<p>MHC has been a common app school for a while. They have both a personal application and are a common application. They're both free to fill out, but it's more convenient to do the common app if you apply to multiple common app schools. I was reading Mt. Holyoke's re-accreditation self-study, and one of the school's goals is to attract more international students who don't have as heavy a financial need. That is hard, as the majority of international students who apply here are very qualified, so I'm just trying to draw a parallel... They will continue to offer great financial aid, and accept just as they would have in the past, but for an international that requires almost full aid, it can be difficult, since domestic students are offered federal aid and drown less of the school's own resources. This does not mean that they will stop accepting qualified students; it means nothing, really, as Mt. Holyoke is dedicated to providing an education to anyone who deserves it. If you are deferred, it does not hurt to offer them notification of awards you've received. It can be detrimental to bombard them, but it's not if you send them a letter acknowledging your interest in the school and notification of awards. :) </p>
<p>Two years ago, the acceptance rate to Mt. Holyoke was 65%, now with the class of 2010, it was 53%, and it will only get lower as time goes. </p>
<p>Maybe they're waiting to compare you with the RD to see whether they'll offer you spring admission or fall admission, or just to see how you compare to your RD peers. It's the most selective year in Mt. Holyoke's history and the acceptance rate this year will thus be significantly lower than it has been in the past...</p>
<p>mtholyoke2010, what percentage of deferred students are accepted in RD pool</p>
<p>People are just saying, what all defer means, show the facts, and then "it's not really bad, it doesn't mean anything",
All of these just keep pressing my nerves, I have already sent my additional materials...I hope they can look at them carefully and...hope they did help...</p>
<p>Part of growing up is learning to live with some uncertainty. It is out of your hands now. Hope for the best and get on with the rest of your life. All will be clear in about 6 more weeks.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best...</p>
<p>In times like this I like to believe in fate and that "everything happens for a reason".</p>
<p>Btw, does anyone happen to know when exactly MHC (Smith, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr) mail(s) out admission decisions?</p>
<p>Happy Chinese New Year!!!!!!!!</p>
