[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]all deferrals (7EA mix of solid target and 2 low reaches) and one "let's look at mid-year grades" from what she thought we totally a safety. 2 Rejections from super high reaches. [/quote] It sounds like you got bad advice when you developed your list of schools. Safety schools aren't asking for mid-year grades - many are offering honors college, and sharing research opportunities and study abroad options to encourage high stat students to attend. [/quote]

This is just not true from what I have seen. Somehow, this year more schools are deferring EA/ED applicants - even when comparing to same GPA/Test stats in pandemic era on Naviance/SCOIR-like platforms for the same HS. Kids are getting deferred from schools where their stats were very solidly in accepted range - plus a lot of wiggle room to spare. These are places where past ALL kids of similar stats (and buffer of stats below) had been accepted regardless of whether it was an ED/EA/RD application. I've been very surprised at results for high stats kids we know. (and again, this is accounting for Fall 2021/2022 admissions). [/quote]
