scottj · December 18, 2010, 2:40pm

Dear roseinbloom : Your profile’s deferral is an interesting case in how things that seem to be completely on track can result in a deferral. Our guess is that you will still be exceptionally well placed in the regular decision round. However, now is the time to start asking some serious questions about what might have gone wrong in your application to this point. Some ideas follow for you to consider.

[1] Your profile screams “College of Arts and Sciences”. Is that the school to which you applied? Be sure that you did not accidentally place an application with CSOM, CSON, or LSE. (Now, if you actually wanted one of the other schools, we can discuss how you might better position your application.)

[2] You need to pass a critical eye over your personal essay. One might conclude that your essay did not discuss what you would add to Boston College but rather was a personal discussion. Since your post acknowledges that BC was not your first choice, was your eesay generic or targeted at specific elements of Boston College? Did you accidentally includes attributes or language targeted for another school?

[3] Did you form a connection in your essay/application between your high school passions (theater, performance, academics) and the Boston College major of your interest? Did you show a knowledge of the Boston College environment? Perhaps, did you tie a visit to the campus over the summer to your application?

[4] Have you read your letter of recommendations? Did one of your teachers/counselors accidentally include language that would have cast doubt on your fitting into the Boston College community? A subtle statement like “roseinbloom is really interested in the west coast and midwestern lifestyles” could be taken the wrong way by a reader. (Now, this is just an example of the type of subtle language to consider.)

[5] Immediately write a letter to your admissions counselor to restate your interest in attending Boston College, but do not write that letter unless you would attend if given the option. Do not write now if you were to get a thumbs-up that you would only turn down! You need to really soul search now just how much you want a Boston College acceptance for your future education.

[6] Are there any sports in your background?

[7] Can you tie your volunteerism to actual changes that have been effected in the community? In other words, did you explain the impact of your volunteerism?

[8] Finally, did you spell check your application? Are you sure that all of the components were completed? Did you Agora page state that your application was complete?

If we can offer additional thoughts, please feel free to write here on College Confidential. Can you offer the other schools in your EA/RD list? That might help us offering additional guidance. (You might want to start a fresh thread to avoid further hijacking this discussion.)
