[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got feedback from an Ivy regional admissions officer to the college counselor last year and it was basically "I personally really liked the kid and advocated strongly for them but I couldn't convince a committee member from XYZ who didn't like ABC about them."

I never expected to get this much info and it wasn't something my kid could change about themself and yes, that was that. Deferral turned into a waitlist which turned into a rejection.[/quote]

Not much information here.  Deferral is just that, regional AO strongly advocated, didn't get through comittee review.  The rest is standard, not a perfect fit.  [/quote]

yes, but it was very interesting for us to hear what it was about our kid's app that was the stumbling point (which I'm not going to share here). [/quote]

I don't think you need to take that stumbling point too serious.  The only reason is that there aren't enough seats.  [/quote]

NP. This is what I was told about our DD (grandparent and sibling legacy) who was deferred. The school has been admitting less and less in the early round, so slots were limited. I am told that those slots are being moved to RD, so hopefully a better chance of her admission in RD. I have heard about 15% of deferrals are admitted. Hoping the theory about deferring legacies to support yield is true![/quote]
