My guess is that because it's early action - and it seems that every who did not get admitted, got deferred. I haven't seen any denials.


Yield protection is often very common with EA and deferrals--because it's easy. You defer high stats students, if they get in to their first choice ED, they withdraw their application it doesn't count as an acceptance. If they don't get into their ED choice or they didn't apply anywhere ED, they are moved to RD where they will be likely accepted.



I think there is some yield protection going on. I don't know how else to explain getting deferred with a 35 ACT

Were they rejected or deferred? If deferred, they still have a chance.


deferred. a lot of these still kids will get in. Clemson only looks at first choice major this round. They will consider second choice major next round. Some will even be offered admission to a similar major but not first or second choice.

I know of several who were admitted from Churchill- maybe they get more commitments from public school kids?

Give her space. Let her open alone or with a pet if you have one. These kids are in their feelings right now.

My kid refuses to check the results and it is killing me! She keeps saying that "she'll get to it when she's less busy" - but she has been saying this now since 6pm!

I did. I swear this board is so provincial and yet elitist, posters are always making fools of themselves over these southern schools.


How is a school ranked in the 80’s so selective? And why is my question elitist?
