[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The acceptance rate for deferred students is even lower - like 2% last year. [/quote] This seems like a weakness on the decision-makers’ side. Or, why would it be so low when it was UVA who said, hang in there, you still have a shot? [/quote] I asked that question on the last IG call. Why defer 7,000 from EA only to accept ~100? Even if half don't accept EA, that's still a ridiculously low percentage. Didn't really understand the response. [/quote] All colleges and universities do it. It's called a "soft deferral". My kid got them from all of the Ivies he applied to. Just a random pull off the internet, here is UCLA last year: The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) offered 15,242 waitlist spaces for the class of 2026, but it only admitted 214 students. This put the UCLA waitlist acceptance rate at a historic low of 2%.Feb 11, 2023[/quote] [b]7,000 were deferred from EA/ED to regular decision not waitlist. [/quote][/b] Dunno. That's a precise copy and paste from the internet. Don't have a pony in the race. Just pointing out that all schools have monster deferral/waitlists and take few. More on "soft rejections". Is waitlist a soft rejection? If a student is waitlisted, it usually means that a school feels the student is a good fit, but the school is constrained by class sizes. Keep in mind, however, that some schools use waitlist offers as “soft rejections.” The waitlist offer is more of a “courtesy” and they have no intention of admitting you.[/quote]
