Hello! This is a thread for all students who got deferred during the ED process. Good luck to everyone!!
how many more colleges do you guys need to work on? deferred from Wharton here.
@whatsupguys35 I’m looking at around 7-10 more :(( (deferred from CAS)
Finished about 6, going to work on 2-3 more
I have about 6-7 more to do. How are you guys feeling?
Well, we can now apply to more schools and see if we have more options. And the admissions rate in RD is higher for deferred applicants according to the Penn dean of admissions. So not a terrible situation to be in to be honest. Just happy to have another shot in RD!
international and deferred CAS. thought i would be way more let down, but im actually pulling myself together. not too thrilled about working on 8 apps before january though. kinda get the feeling my app for penn wasn’t good enough so i gotta step my game up now, especially with classmates applying RD :V
Chinese and deferred SEAS. Working on Northwestern, USC and Cornell right now. Really like to go to Penn, maybe add a lot of information in the update.
I’m applying to around 8 in total, so 5 more.
I should have started working on other essays earlier instead of waiting until the decision came out. So now I have 10 apps due in January rip but at least 2 of them don’t require supplements
I have around 7 unless i can get through more cause this deferral is making me even more nervous lol
Got deferred from Wharton:( In the same boat as a lot of you; left a lot of apps to the last second. Still got Cornell, UVA, BC, and a few others to go, but good luck to everyone in regular decision! What are people considering sending in the update?
@gemonies we’re in this app cramming together! i’ll begin working on my updates once im done with all the other submissions, but realistically, you can’t drastically improve yourself over such a short time. i’ll just remind them they’re still my first choice. as for me, i think I said too much in my essay but proved too little through my accomplishments. i would probably be filling in some gaps 
@gemonies I think I might use the opportunity to really explain what exactly I am doing outside of school and just remind them that they were and always will be my first choice
is there any way to send them an updated supplement?
Where did all of apply RD?
@kassh4 not the essay, but you can send profile updates
Did anyone convert from a deferral to an accepted on this thread? Thanks in advance.
