[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a related question…why do some colleges directly put ED applicants on the waiting list instead of deferring them to the regular round? [/quote]

Early years of travel/club sports were good training for this. We had more than one coach tell us “we won’t send rejections, we will email callbacks.”   You learned early on a callback was a rejection and the roster was already full. They were keeping you hanging only if someone on their roster dropped out unexpectedly and they could hit you up for $$$$. It’s the exact same thing.

It’s basically a rejection either way. You are waiting to see if someone drops out. [/quote]
So being deferred is better than being put on the waiting list?[/quote]
Yes[/quote]
 It’s basically the same thing.  Pretty common for deferred kids to not be admitted in RD and placed on waitlist.[/quote]

Being deferred is not basically the same thing as the waitlist. [/quote]
