Utterly false. It's called the "soft reject" . My kid got five of them, Princeton, Yale. Hsrvard, Cornell, etc, Deferred and waitlisted.

Did you kid send a letter of continuing interest? If so, when does that get sent?

If you’re deferred, you have a strong application, and will have good news coming in the spring.

That's awesome. As you're probably aware, its a signal that they'll probably get in to a top school in RD, including Yale.

Second all-time lowest acceptance rate for Yale. But yes, a slight tick up from last year which was lowest ever. But you have to wonder if kids who were never in the running threw in an app for the hell of it during TO - to all the schools. Not sure if that made the completion harder tbh.

Everything much much more competitive than 5 years ago.


EA acceptance rate this year 10.8%, 5 years ago was 13.8%. That's not really "much much more competitive." TO clearly increased app numbers at highly competitive schools but that's the main factor here, not that kids accomplishments have changed dramatically in 5 years.



actually, it's a major difference. especially considering athletic numbers are flat (apps and commitments)

Our school had two that we have heard of so far:

An athlete who was also a top 5 or top 10 student.
A student in the top 5 of his class.
