And the answer was Deferred. No hook.

Don’t know what to make of her chances in the RD round, kids with identical, good stats with hooks are getting in. Evaluating our options, in any case, she’s got a busy few weeks finishing off the other applications. The only real choice is whether to apply ED2 to another favorite or just do RD everywhere. The other ED school (Bowdoin size) already has a hooked applicant from D’s HS, not sure that won’t result in another deferral.

It’s time to consult the ever wise GC.

Just got a text from D. Apparently her deferral is having some shockwaves through her friends. They’re like, if you got deferred, what chance do I have with a weaker record? Her reply has been, I’ve still got a shot, and a lot of other school’s to shoot for, which is about as positive a spin as she can put on it, though I know she’s seething at some of the acceptances she’s hearing.
