<p>So, I was deferred from Georgetown on Saturday, which didn't particularly shock me.<br>
I my GPA and SAT scores are around their middle 50%, and my essays were solid. </p>
<p>What I found odd was that I am would be a legacy, and in their deferral letter they said, "We have taken your family connection with Georgetown into consideration." yet I was deferred. Are they telling me that I'm just that bad? XD </p>
<p>Thanks for any input!</p>
<p>No. I am sure this is not about you.</p>
<p>I think they’re just trying to prevent hundreds of legacy applicants–not necessarily you personally–from calling up and saying, “What do you mean, I’m deferred? Don’t you know I’m a legacy?”</p>
<p>I know it’s really hard not to take every little thing personally. I remember when my kid was applying to college, how desperately I wanted to read meaning into every bit of communication–or, worse, silence–but the truth is, some things just don’t mean much.</p>
<p>Sorry you have to keep waiting.</p>
