Official ED Thread!!!

<p>ACCEPTED!
Anyone else a Feb?! I'm so excited!</p>

<p>I could start the Facebook group, if need be.
I can't wait to meet you all!</p>

<p>And for those deferred, have hope!</p>

<p>woo Decameron! I requested September admission and was sort of secretly hoping for February, but alas, I only got everything I asked for. Start that facebook group PLEASE.</p>

<p>Deferred. What percentage of deferred students get in RD?</p>

<p>Just checked the FAQ on the admissions website, which said 10-20% of deferred students get in RD.</p>

<p>But, don’t take that to mean your chances are necessarily worse than any of the other RD applicants. If a student’s application was extremely weak ED, it'll be extremely weak RD and they still won’t get in. I suspect a lot of (hopeful) students leave their (weak) application in the "pool" even if it's not realistic to get in, hence lowering the deferred-student acceptance rate. Between two otherwise identical candidates (how ridiculous of an idea is that?) I would say the student that had shown ED interest has a better chance. Maybe use this as a time to get a potential “interview” with an alumni from your area if you haven't. Provided you don’t say anything stupid, they can only help you.</p>

<p>Decameron - what're you planning to do before February? I'm a September person (haha there must be a better name for that), but I think it's really cool that Midd lets you have the option of delaying admission.</p>

<p>I'm planning on touring with Riverdance at the moment (I'm an Irish dancer... they asked me to join and wanted me to defer for a year, but now it's a perfect 6-month opportunity!)
I am SO EXCITED to be a Feb!
Just like you, Russiasarus, I checked the "both" box, but I secretly wanted Feb. However, it does get in the way of dance a bit (with the Dance Company and all), but that's fine.</p>

<p>I'm starting the facebook group RIGHT NOW :)</p>

<p>So, I created it, but I couldn't think of a description that reflects our awesomeness :D
Any ideas?

<p>Decameron- first of all, I can't even express how awesome it that you're touring with riverdance.
But there's actually already a much bigger facebook group of the same title.</p>

<p>Really? I couldn't find it! Can you post the link?</p>

<p>And thanks for the expressive awesomeness, lol.</p>
