<p>So UVM has spammed for a while about their VIP application, I did it and got deffered yesterday. I was wondering what exactly that entails and if that lowers my chances of getting into the actual university. What confuses me most is that UVM is my saftey, and that no student from my school with a GPA which is even .75 lower than mine has gotten rejected.
This makes me somewhat worried, if I got deferred from UVM, do my changes at my target and reach schools completely dissappear? Should I apply to even lower schools (at this point, the only reasonable one is umass boston)? Does this mean anything about my chances of actually getting in?(which, statistically, were 100% based on my schools record for the past ten or so years)</p>
