[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was deferred.  Valedictorian of a suburban public school, 12 APs (mostly 5s), 1560.  The "ugly" part is that the initial screen had a blue banner that said "Congratulations" and then included information for an admitted students zoom call.  But below that was a link to an official letter that said my kid was deferred.  After my kid emailed the admissions email address, kid received an email saying that the Congratulations message was a mistake and my kid was deferred not accepted.[/quote]

This is an awful mistake. I know this will sound unreasonable to many but my feeling is when schools make this egregious of an error, the student should be admitted.

My nephew was rejected by Duke years ago. It was his dream school as his dad had attended and was very active volunteering his time for interviews. He absolutely had the GPA and SAT, was valedictorian, had the ECs and won multiple awards. He was crushed. It’s so brutal. With that said, he ended up at a wonderful school where he was extremely happy. There just aren’t enough spots. [/quote]
