[quote=Anonymous]2021 parent here. Many of your kids were deferred and mine was too. Please nudge them to write a LOCI email to their college admissions advisor and cc the Dean who sent the deferral email. Update any important changes, and keep focusing on grades because colleges are looking closely at 1st half transcripts.

DS was accepted early to two safeties. Deferred by others. Rejected ED. He was deflated by the EA deferral from his 2nd choice because they’re not known to yield protect. He emailed a short, upbeat letter of continued interest, plus a few extra accomplishments since applying.  A few weeks later, he emailed advisor to let her know that one of their supplemental essay prompts was deleted before the EA app deadline. He had completed that essay the summer before and attached it to email. He explained why and said something like [i]I know how busy you are, and you don’t have to read it, but I promise it’s really short.[/i] She quickly confirmed that she read it, the reason why the prompt was deleted (which was funny), and that she included it in the file for team review. He emailed his thanks. He was accepted. Who knows if any of it was the reason. After RD decisions came out, he was offered a spot in their scholars program. That was unexpected. Don’t let your kids give up. Show deferrals the love. Don’t assume deferral = rejection, or treat it as such. Good luck to your kids! It’s a grind. So glad it’s over! [/quote]
