You can’t defer in RD, so not sure what you are talking about.

A number of your schools practice yield management in RD. BC is one. They clearly defer the Ivy level kids from our school and take the ones beneath that.

My kid with similar stats(but engineering) is waiting on most reach/hard target schools too.

Rejected ED at Vandy
Deferred Purdue 🥲

But accepted Pitt, UTK & Bama

I’d add some safeties!

Need more safeties. Can you swiftly work with a college counselor and add 1-2 more? But listen it’ll be fine.

Look at additional rolling admission schools and apply ASAP. Could easily get shut out by 1 target and 1 safety.

OP - is DC top 10%? Top 20%? Colleges care more about that than gpa.

I think the issue is you have 1 safety (Pitt) and 1 target (Villanova) and all the rest are reaches. Undecided is also a bit tough. It is what it is now. Hopefully something comes through. But add more if any still accepting.
