@Wodzuu I got rejected directly. It may be because of the financial aid idk but I fell pretty sad about it
@projectmgr Three years ago, my daughter was in that exact same boat with those two EA schools and no other responses. Panicked, she applied to a few more schools before the end of December. She was eventually denied at Tulane and UMich waitlisted then denied her. She is attending Boston University, which was one of her “last minute” applications in December. She is a junior now and is killing it there. It all works out the way it should.
.
@smarttart What do you mean?
Are all deferral letters the same? My son’s letter states that he needs to ask his counselor to send fall semester grades. Can anyone let me know ?
My son’s deferral letter also asked for fall semester grades.
Anyone know when most deferred applicants get their decisions? Do we really have to wait till April or is it rolling?
@plsplshelp. All deferrals are in regular decision pool so decisions come out with rest of decisions in March. April 1 is usually the end date. That is unless you opt into ED2.
What’s your son’s Uw GPA if you don’t mind me asking. My son’s is 3.425 & 1420 SAT. He had one bad semester because he has too many ECs during sophomore year but brought his grades up during junior year. He’s taking 3 APs now & it’s kind of hard.
