[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 deferrals
0 rejections
0 acceptances

Deferrals from two safeties, two matches, one reach. Not feeling great but pretty hopeful that at least one of the deferrals will be an acceptance. Has another 8 apps out in RD round, two are safeties--which I would hate for her to go to. My 2021 kid had 6 deferrals and no acceptances at this point as well, and 4 of the 6 were acceptances in RD, the other two were waitlists. I think it will be fine, but also think my kid is one of very few with no safety acceptances at least at this point. [/quote]

That's stressful! Why do you think safeties deferred? Did your kids customize their essays to each college? I know people say it doesn't matter, but I think it does. An admissions officer will have a much harder time deferring a high-stats kid (relative to the college's stats) if the essay mentions the college by name and says something thoughtful and positive about it.[/quote]

Maybe they aren’t really safeties. If this happened to both your kids, maybe your definition of safety is not as safe as necessary? [/quote]
