I was deferred ED and Duke is still my top school, so I’d like to submit a letter saying so. Is there an optimal time to do it? Any tips on what to say in it?
I wouldn’t do it now. Wait until about a month before RD decisions are released.
I am in the same situation @pencilpen7 my counselor thinks that I shouldn’t send anything because they probably won’t read it but I think I’m going to anyway. I also didn’t get the opportunity to interview for ED does anyone know if I can ask if I can interview with the RD kids?
Thats a good question @a1h313. I would suggest reaching out to your regional chair and asking if this would be possible. A list of the alumni interview chairs for each region are listed on this page:
