Hey guys. So on Wednesday, I learned that I was deferred from Duke. I know that my chances of getting in are now extremely slim but I feel like I could’ve improved on my supplements. I know I already submitted my Common App to Duke but would it be possible to send revised supplemental essays to the admissions office for consideration? The deferral hurts but at least I know that there is a tiny sliver of hope.
No. If you send supplemental info now it should be in the nature of awards or something significant. You can send updated grades if there has been a marked improvement.
Agree completely with the above post. You don’t get a chance to re-do your essays. However if there are any new significant achievements/awards you earned after the application was filed you can send a brief email updating the school. And you can work hard on any supplements for other schools you apply to.
