DP. Typo, UMich must have been EA (didn't have ED last year). UMich defers a large chunk of out of state kids from EA to RD, so this is not unusual.

DP. CMU is a good school.

I would not want my DC to attend any grind school with intentional weed out classes. My DC are very strong academically, but those weed out classes are needlessly demoralizing. The very top engineering programs have graduation rates (graduating with an engineering degree of students who started in engineering) above 90%.

Deferred at Mich? That’s tough. Sounds like a great student. Where else waiting to hear from?

Did VA Tech already release results? I thought EA results come late Feb.

DD in at Clemson, Penn State, Auburn and Univ. Of SC for mechanical engineering. Waiting to hear from UVA and VT and a bunch of reaches. Her first choice is VT.

My son is a freshamn at UTK and loves it!! He was deferred then waitlisted at UVA and really had his heart set on UVA. Not crushed but disappointed. UTK offered merit and had a nuclear engineering program and he accepted their offer. Best decision he made - he loves Knoxville, the engineering complex, he plays rugby for UTK and is thriving. UTK has become a hot SEC school and much more competitive in the last 4 yrs.

His merit aid was based on his ACT score.


Maybe depending on Dec results

My son is at UTK for Nuclear Engineering. UTK has either the 3rd or 4th best nuclear engineering program in the country. MI, MIT and NC State are ranked high as well for nuclear. Vtech and UVA don't offer nuclear.

Currently finishing his first semester at Georgia Tech Engineering. Deferred does not mean rejected. So, don't lose hope.


If deferred, when do you hear they’ve been accepted?


At GT deferred find out the same day as regular admissions decisions. Unlike a lot of schools (I'm looking at you Michigan...) where deferral is a soft reject, at GT you have a 15-20% chance overall at admissions from that pool.


Where you getting that stat for GTech for deferral pulls. I'm pretty sure it wasn't close to that last cycle.


Oh - I thought you were talking about the Waitlist pull which I think are minimal. 15% seems right for deferral pull, but where did you find that stat?
