<p><<there are="" so="" many="" cases="" where="" you="" just="" don’t="" feel="" like="" a="" final="" decision="" can="" be="" made="" on="" an="" application="" with="" work="" without="" from="" senior="" year="" in="" the="" file.="">></there></p>

<p>I totally understand the need for senior grades, if grades are questionable. In my son’s case, he has all A’s (or A+) over his first three years. Grades were not the problem. I’m not sure how senior grades will help his file. Unfortunately, I think my son’s SAT scores may have held him back. Nothing we can do about that now. He’ll send in mid-year grades and hope for the best. I know he’ll end up at the perfect school - wherever that is.</p>

<p>ljrfrm, that’s what we have to keep repeating to ourselves, and it is true. My D was accepted to UVA, which is her first choice. My S, who is a junior, is in love with a different school now, but may not be as competitive as he needs to be. I plan to repeat “he’ll end up at the perfect school” over and over, while making sure we find about 6 “perfect schools”! :D</p>

<p>Does anyone know the percent of students deferred that get accepted during the regular application process? Or a guess? I can’t find anything online.</p>

<p>OOS, top 10%, 35 ACT - deferred; very disappointing</p>

44

<p>Saw somewhere that last year it was 20-21% of deferred were accepted in RD.</p>

<p>my daughter’s application was deferred but had her Jefferson Scholar interview today. Now what? i’m so nervous. Good luck to all those who applied to UVa and was nominated for the JS!</p>

46

<p>Is it unusual that I didn’t get a letter despite getting deferred?</p>

47

<p>Nope. On the admissions blog, Dean J said they went paperless (hence no small envelope). I was also expecting one in the mail.</p>

48

<p>Did everyone who was deferred only send ACT scores? There seems to be a preference for SAT there… I only sent ACT (34) and was deferred.</p>

<p>haley -
This thread is a year old. There is a 2018 EA deferral discussion here:

<p>or on Dean J’s Blog:

<p>Also, regarding your concern of ACT vs SAT post #2 in the thread below from Dean J should put that to rest. UVa has no preference.
