[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My commiserations to those deferred. My completely wild ass guess for publics colleges is that they got snowed with apps, couldn’t handle the volume and [b]kicked the can down the road to RD[/b]. EA decisions for publics as it were, already come out pretty late and don’t really change the calculus for commit. (Unless for ED2, but that’s such a small minority).

I bet a lot of deferrals for the strong stat students here in this thread will turn into admits, and you lot will still go to VT, UVA and UMD. Hang tough.

When students are applying to 20+ schools it just makes sense to defer a lot of them--see who sticks around after ED agreements are pulled.
[b]What floored me was when I saw that VT accepted nearly 4000 students from its WAITLIST in 2020[/b]--not even just deferring to RD. That's really kicking the can down the road.  In the end, they still tend to fluctuate around a 65-70% acceptance rate (lower for engineering), but they really do make kids suffer for that acceptance.[/quote]

Wasn't that the year after they accepted far too many and didn't have a place to house them?[/quote]
