do u know who we send the letter to? is the letter sent by mail, or do we email it to someone?
The deferral letter itself might have info relevant to this?
My D from Georgia heard nothing yet.
GPA UW 3.5 SAT 1510.
She already got in BU from ED.
Her elder sister was accepted by UW Madison 2 years ago GPA 3.7 SAT 1530, but she went UGA instead
I thought you had to withdraw all other applications when you get accepted somewhere ED?

please tell your daughter to withdrawal her application from UW since she got into BU!! The spot can allow deferred/waitlisted applicants who really want to go to UW to be accepted!!

@jjandj IF YOUR CHILD WAS ACCEPTED ED - SHE NEEDS TO PULL THE OTHER APPLICATIONS NOW. ( YOU POSTED THAT YOU ARE STILL WAITING ON ANOTHER SCHOOL TOO). SHE IS POTENTIALLY TAKING A SPOT THAT SHE IS NOT GOING TO USE.

Nothing in CT yet. I wonder if we will hear before Christmas?
If BU finds out you have not withdrawn apps they can rescind their offer. Plus, it is generally a horrible thing to do since you know you are not going to the other schools to keep your application in play. Your child got their first choice.

Maybe the person admitted to BU has not found out their financial aid offer from BU yet and is not sure whether they can attend. We could give benefit of the doubt.

Did the deferral letter give an email to contact with updates or mid-year grades? Iâve never been able to find out who the admissions officers are by searching the schoolâs admission site, which may mean they donât want to be contacted individually. All inquiries had to go to a generic admissions email. You could also call admissions after the New Year and ask who to send it to or where to submit it. My nephew was deferred several years ago. He and his dad (an alum) made an appointment with admissions (or maybe stopped in) in the spring and talked face to face with someone. Within a week or two, an acceptance letter arrived. I realize that itâs not practical or possible for people to have a face to face, but if Wisconsin is a top choice, I think showing strong interest may help. Good luck and let us know what you find out.

I am a bit confused. So WM-Madison has admitted some EA students already although the stated notification date is by January 31. And others students have been notified that they were deferred from EA to RD. Have there been any rejections?
Yes I saw some rejections someone called the AO there and they said they were being released by region/state
Thank you. So I guess for now No news is good newsâŠ

Correct. We are in the NY, NJ and CT region which all released decisions early I heard.
Weâre in CT & I donât think any EA decisions have been released for us yet. Reading through earlier posts in this thread, it sounds like a random selection of states that had heard so far, but not CT.
We are also in CT and havenât gotten a decision yet either.
Shouldnât you withdraw your Wisconsin application if your D got into BU ED??
