Early Decision and Getting Deferred

Early Decision and Getting Deferred

College Acceptance, Early Action (EA) / Early Decision (ED)

Getting deferred or rejected is not the news you were hoping for in this early round, but most students are going to face some rejection during this process. If you were deferred or rejected from your Early Decision school, you are now released from your binding agreement. If you were rejected, then that decision is final for this application cycle. You may not re-apply there this year. If you were deferred and are still interested in the ED school, read the deferral letter to learn what you can submit.

You may start to get acceptances from rolling and early action schools now. After all your hard work, that’s the best news ever! Keep track of anything required, but in general, you should hang tight even while the school sends you approximately 967 emails each day pressuring you to commit. Under no circumstance should you put down an enrollment deposit-- you can only put down an enrollment deposit at one school-- until you are certain you want to attend the school.

Should I answer that optional writing question on Common App about COVID? Do I really need to write a resume? The Additional Information section confuses me-- is that for problems or for bragging? We covered all these topics and more in our twice-monthly small virtual coach group for seniors, CTK College Access. Next month we’ll be tackling how to track all those submitted applications and how to schedule and prepare for interviews.
