[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listened to a webinar recently (Harlan Cohen—author of 13 Mistakes Kids Make When Selecting a College)—anyway he specifically mentioned Clemson deferred 15,000 applications last year from EA to RD. He only mentioned two schools when speaking about deferrals so my take away was that Clemson deferred more than most schools. Our high school’s college counselor also warns students they maybe deferred but still have a chance to get in so don’t panic yet if you aren’t accepted. [/quote]

It seems that about 100% are deferred. Clearly all 100% won’t make it in with RD. [/quote]

My child was accepted (OOS very high stats)—I have to think that stats and teacher/counselor recs count for a ton since they don’t have supplemental essays. [/quote]

i have it on a good source that this round is strictly stats and legacy based. only in The RD round will they review LORs, ECs and essay. [/quote]

That doesn't really line up with the results posted on this thread. I'm a PP with a kid who was admitted OOS/business. Not a legacy. Stats are strong, but not as high as many kids who were deferred (reported sub-1400 SAT scores, 4.3-ish GPA with a healthy number of APs). ECs, LORs, and essay are all very strong. I just don't think my kid got in on test scores and GPA alone.   [/quote]

It does line up with our experience, highest ranked kids at our high schools got in.  Perhaps your kid’s school doesn’t have as much grade deflation as others, or they wanted someone from your geographical location?[/quote]
