[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD deferred. Hoping for good news for us later and good news sooner for the rest of you![/quote]

Good luck! Maybe a letter to your regional admissions rep reaffirming commitment and sending mid semester grades [/quote]

Yep she will do all of the above. The first semester grades were great, improvement on overall GPA so hopefully will help. 3.9 W overall, 4.4 senior year.[/quote]

Did she submit SAT?  If that was high seems nuts to me not accepted with that GPA if alum (with a side note that say post that legacy status about to mean nothing after this year so good luck now if can help).[/quote]

[b]3.9 Weighted is a low GPA. WM 25% is about 4.2W. It’s great OP’s kid shows upward trend, but it’s a bit late in the game.[/b]

That said OP, I had a kid who was admitted EF with 4.0W a couple of years ago. But 34 ACTs, with perfect verbal scores.   Took 4APs in 11th and 7 in 10th (magic of one semester classes, like macro and micro). 1 B+ each of junior and senior year. 3.8 to 4.0 10th to 11th, 4.0 to just below 4.2 at graduation. She was admitted to WM ED1, completely unhooked. It can be done.

ED may be over, but if your kid is deferred, WM remains interested. If there is a denial, your kid might be waitlisted and get a shot at spring entrance (fall must be overseas or at a community college). Or they could go to a 2 years at cc, guarantee transfer with a certain GPA.  How would you feel about on of these choices OP?

The spring admit option seems to be getting more popular each year. It’s a risky gambit, your kid can say in the LOCI that your kid wants to remain in consideration for fall admission. BUT, if that is not an option, DC is willing to do the waitlist, and will go overseas next fall, then start on campus after Christmas. That might give a “soft no” deferral give a kid ann edge in making the waitlist, because I image most WL kids turn down the spring admit.

Regardless, send have your kid them a LOCI!  A sincere one, with a lot of enthusiasm for the sense of community, not a boilerplate. WM cares about that a lot.

I absolutely detest this for our children. They are growing up in an age where you can’t make mistakes or adapt to a new school after age 14. No wonder there’s an anxiety epidemic.  [/quote]

+100 How has it come to this? [/quote]
