S21 accepted to GA Tech. OOS and had put CS as his major. Great confidence builder after his acceptance to Purdue CS OOS last week!

My S21 was admitted to Vandy ED1 and while I am beyond thrilled, Iām feeling a little let down to be done with everything. He withdrew his application to Richmond and I was sad to not have the excitement of a possible acceptance yesterday. He isnāt feeling one moment of regret so I shouldnāt either but after so much work and build up its just weird to come to a screeching halt. Ah well, good luck to allā¦especially all of my fellow Texans waiting on UT - COME ON ALREADY!

Thank you so much for bringing up the Presidential Scholarship. Iāve never heard of it and just found out that my S21 has been invited to apply. If I hadnāt seen it on here, the email would have likely gone unnoticed (ignored) by him. Now just need to motivate him to do the essays. Hoping some of the college app ones can be tweaked to fit. Thanks again!

Thanks. For some reason, I just had a feeling about this one. But, judging from the thread, there were lots of deferrals, so I posted my Dās stats so hopefully no one else feels too bad. This is a very competitive school and CS is a super competitive major. Onward! Good luck to your D!

Glad you found the link. Regarding portals, I donāt have access to D21s but every couple of weeks I have her sit with me and log into ALL of them and let me look around. Then weāre done for another two weeks.

Yes ā agree about a lot of work with a lot deferrals.
As @jeneric said, Iām now hearing more about more deferrals from NC State. Kinda weird that UNC and NC State would diverge in such a big way this year. NC State is going to have a lot of apps to re-read between now and end of March!

Iām not telling my D21 about this! (And luckily she doesnāt read CC.) She is already so depressed that all 7 of the SATs she registered for were cancelled. Especially with the increased volume of applicants at pretty much every school she applied.

No need to tell her! This has been such a weird year for the whole college app process. And I thought last year with my D20 was bad. 
Congrats on the Georgia Tech acceptances!
S21 did not get in. Not sad or surprised since it was an OOS reach and I didnāt think it was the right school for him āfitā wise. I do sort of wonder what the outcome would have been if heād gone test optional. Looking at the Georgia Tech acceptance thread, his GPA/rigor/ECs are right on par with accepted students who did not submit scores. The accepted students who submitted scores all seem have 35+ or 1570+. His was a little lower but he wanted to submit it anyway.
Edited to add: I hope no one takes what I wrote above as a dig at test optional policies this cycle. I wasnāt sure given the frowny face reactions. Iām just musing out loud because the data and outcomes at different schools are so interesting to me this year!
