<p>Two of my friends were accepted yesterday, and my application status changed to “Under Review”, so hopefully everyone will get their decisions soon.</p>
<p>For those with an application status of “Deferred”, be sure to re-check the link to the online Admissions letter. </p>
<p>My D has been Deferred since December. Today the status still appeared to be unchanged; HOWEVER, I clicked on the link to re-read the December letter again. SURPRISE…it is now a letter dated 3/21/13, and says that she is still Deferred and has been placed on the WaitList. It goes on to say only 30 out of 2,171 where accepted off the Waitlist last year. Basically, she has not been accepted :-(</p>
<p>If you are also Deferred, you may want to re-check the online link to your Admissions letter. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Well, I got my decision sooner than I had expected. </p>
