The ol' Boss (as usual) makes a great point about deferrals, especially this year.
Last year (c/o 2013) 235 Early Action appointments were awarded, while 176 were sent out for Regular Admissions.
This year (c/o 2014) the plan is for less than 170 during EA! And that is from a list of close to 1,000 Early Action candidates!
Which means that there will probably be close to 240 awarded during the RA cycle in order to yield a class size of around 290.
Don't dwell on the negatives of a deferral letter too long, look at it as another chance to impress the CCEB with higher SAT/ACT scores, another varsity letter, another merit award, another presidency of x club, or a face-to-face interview.
Luigi59,
What is the proper way to update your file for items such as an additional varsity letter or MVP award? Do you e-mail your admission officer or do you send the information in via a certified letter or is it best to make contact via phone? Is there a way to verify that your file has been updated?
Thanks for your help!
