@IntApp2022 - how about a job? Not trying to be harsh, but it will keep you busy and give you pocket money for college.
can deferred students get waitlisted?
Yes @college3434 I think so, anyone being considered during the RD round (including deferred students) can be waitlisted.
@college3434 @IlluminatiIsReal I’m pretty sure that Northwestern doesn’t waitlist deferred students
@dogsrmylife Maybe it’s true. Where did you see that?
Not sure about that. Although it would be a less than desirable sequence of events, however, if you are deferred then you are technically treated as any other RD student (no final decision was made / deferred) thus I imagine waitlist would be a available tool/option to the admissions office no matter how unlikely it may be.
@2KansasKids I’m from a small city in India where no one really hires students/kids. Even though I’m 18, there’s no place that hires people my age for a job. I’m doing two internships and volunteering at a school for the underprivileged, but I’m just a very curious person by nature which only elevates the usual anxiety of the wait 
Plus seeing that I’m an international applicant asking for FA, I’m worried I won’t get in anywhere.
@IlluminatiIsReal I read it in this article. It’s that one that everyone has seen from 2009 so not sure if it’s still the policy or not.

@dogsrmylife That is genuine. I guess it could be the same for other unis as well then, but it could also depend from uni to uni.
@IntApp2022 - Sorry, I did not understand your situation. Good luck to you!
@dogsrmylife wow i relate so hard to that. i definitely gained at least a few pounds within days of being deferred. i like your sense of humor, if we get in can we be friends??
i feel like everyone who got deferred should meet up(if we get in) and be eachother’s friends so we can complain to other people who actually understand how suffer-tastic this has been omg
Same I wanna be friends with @dogsrmylife
btw did anyone who’s deferred turn in updated test scores after being deferred? I didn’t cause there’s no time for me to take sat2, and I’m kinda worried rn because of that
@helpmeimstressed We can def be friends if we both get in. If you’re also a girl we could be roommates!!
@Ineedoffers Hello, friend! I didn’t send in any more test scores but I did do achievement updates via a letter of continued interest
Ditto on the stress for deferred students! It sounds like we would all get along lol
I did the same by sending a deferral statement and I also asked my current IB English 2 teacher to write me a rec.
Was anyone else deferred by SESP?
Oh yeah, I also had my piano teacher of 10 years send in a rec
Does anyone have any idea what time of day the results have come out previously? I know ED came out around 5:30 this year, do you think it’ll be the same for RD?
@ljschlaif I received the email that my portal was updated for ED at 6:15pm eastern but my portal had already updated around 6pm eastern
Will deferred candidates hear at the same time as the rest of the RD pool?
