| Duke deferral here. Tough day for DD, but she will be fine tomorrow. |

Harvard doesn’t have ED. |

And yet you took the time to respond with this nonsense when you know what the poster meant. |

+1. Deferral means she was in the top 30%. My DD was deferred too. |

How are you feeling now that there's been time to digest the news?

My DC didn’t get into their ED at the beginning of the month. That weekend was not great but since then (days later in fact) they received a very strong acceptance (reach school) they applied EA to plus have quite a few more coming Jan - Mar. Also has acceptances to the three safeties they applied to (if they had to do it again, probably would’ve applied to one safety but hindsight and everything…) - after the reach acceptance, those are in the rearview mirror. Has had a school email to offer moving their RD up to EDII but they decided to stay RD and see how everything comes in. |

Deferred ED followed by a good result from EA. There is no cliff anymore, only optional upside.
Worked hard on the essays during the break, peacefully. Call it a win this year if any of the RD/ED2 hits. |

Kid was deferred from top choice but accepted at 2 EA schools, one with significant merit. Kid is now trying to finalize several apps to submit over the next two weeks. Plus the LOCI. After that's all in it'll be a waiting game. Won't hear anything else until mid-Feb. |

It’s too early to send in the LOCI. Put that off for a few weeks. The goal is to provide updates and new information that wasn’t in the app on November 1. Send it in mid-January. Good luck. |

| Kid denied at ED, then accepted at two EA with a lot of merit. One of those is a really great option. Decided not to ED2, and is putting in a bunch of RD apps, so we’ll see how it all plays out. I’m feeling pretty chill about the whole thing now that kid has some acceptances in the bag. I predict in the end kid will have a bunch of choices — maybe 14 out of 19? |
