<p>Congrats 911! I’m so glad to hear the good news.</p>
<p>911, congrats. That is fantastic. You must be so proud and happy…</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone. It all feels very surreal. I was prepped for another deferral. S is really happy!</p>
<p>^^so where was the deferral from? Can’t seem to find it on here…I love to see the schools that defer kids who are subsequently accepted at their ED’s…softens the blow!</p>
<p>Congrats 911…great news.</p>
<p>Wake Forest was his deferral. Wake has a rolling ED and he applied early enough to get deferred and move to plan B(ucknell). All things considered, I am really pleased with how this worked out. I think that as a kid who spent his first 13 years living in NJ and NY, that Bucknell is a better fit. It’s also closer to us by about 2-2.5 hr.</p>
<p>How I really know that Bucknell is a better match is that the school colors are orange/navy and S has an orange/black car. But he’s not flashy at all! And so far, only 1 speeding ticket! ;)</p>
<p>Fabulous news 911! Congrats to you and your S!</p>
<p>Congrats, 911!!! So excited for you!! </p>

<p>911: so fortunate that Wake responded promptly!..did not know they defer in ED…kids we know last year were rejected…</p>

<p>Wake responds in about 6 weeks. His app and transcript were all in before school started. They said that they wanted to see his first semester grades prior to making a decision, released him from ED and put him in RD.</p>
<p>911 - Mazel Tov! So happy for you and your S.</p>
