<p>If your academic stats are in range for SHA, then the best thing you could do to enhance your app is to obtain another industry-related job. I believe the figure quoted is 88% of enrolled students (or accepted students, but practically the same thing given SHA’s astronomical yield) have industry experience. </p>
<p>I have no idea if the deferral rate from SHA is higher than from other schools, but I do know that SHA’s ED rate was only one point higher than their RD rate for the class accepted last year. If you have new information to report or a new job to communicate, contact SHA admissions directly.</p>
