Those deferred - what will you do?

<p>imflying, from what i've heard, the admissions officers kind of get...annoyed. they'll read it, but begrudgingly.</p>

<p>when is the best time to send in supplemental material?</p>

<p>As a general rule, would someone deferred at Yale have a better Regular Decision chance at Harvard or Yale?</p>

<p>You may have hit the nail on the head. You went to a high school with which Yale isn't familiar and has no experience. That may make it that much harder to "break in".</p>

<p>Plus with your credentials, I'd guess that there was a serious flaw in your application materials. Could it be the essays or recommendations?</p>

<p>I'm beginning to believe it is about the hook, as much as anything else.</p>

<p>There are so many well-qualified kids applying to these top schools that, without a hook, it is a crap shoot (irrespective of how great your stats are).</p>

<p>I'll wait till March 31... lol</p>

<p>tarbe- is that true? that's my real concern. granted, i am a junior and still have to get those stats....but i'm worried that even if i do, i didn't do anything really outstanding. i mean i go to a small school in a relatively small town, so there really wasn't that much i could do. oh well, i've tried my hardest throughout high school, and i guess that's the best i can do.</p>

<p>i'm applying early to yale next year, and i'll probably get deferred. still, it's good to see what you guys are doing to remedy that situation before decisions come out march 31. all of you seem very well-qualified and good luck!</p>

<p>hey did any of you guys get in?</p>

<p>does anyone know what percentage of deffered apps get in?
thanks!!!</p>
