My daughter was deferred and then waitlisted at her private #1 LAC. She crossed it off the list because she would need substantial aid in order to attend . She never sent her midterm grades or followed up at all. She committed to a SUNY that made the best financial sense and was a good fit . May 2nd she got email with acceptance and financial package . She told them that she really could not accept for any more than the SuNy would be. They matched it. They also reduced the deposit. We are still very confused . Her guidance counselor said it never happens . We are hoping it is not a mistake or a dream!
