[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I respect colleges that don’t play this game, even if it means their yield numbers are lower as a result. [/quote]

+1 just accept, reject, or waitlist if you must. My kid got a deferral from a school that apparently had a high deferral rate this year and now they’re asking for additional essays and such. Would have been better off applying RD than EA as it’s going to drag on just as long but involves more work (the college already had supplemental essays).[/quote]

Which school is this??
[b]I didn't know EA handed out deferrals.[/b]  And extra essays?  That's crazy.
I know some waitlist require an essay to stay on waitlist,....but essay for deferral into RD pool, is there no end to this madness?

Northeastern also has a very known EA/ED1/ED2 scheme going on. On the portal, at the top in big font is a quick form to change from EA to ED.

EA is where most of the deferrals happen. I think Michigan usually defers 80% of the EA applicants. Same with South Carolina. Wisconsin deferred so many last year, so curious what they do this year. [/quote]
