I would not get your hopes up. We had a very similar experience with her last year. We visited the school with our son, met with her and she encouraged our son to apply to the DMD program and to put together a portfolio for her review. My son spent many hours putting together the portfolio and later submitted it to her. She got back to us by email and told us that our son’s portfolio was outstanding and that he should apply for early decision. She emailed us that she would personally take the portfolio to the admissions committee and get back to us. She never got back to us. Our son was deferred. After that, my son wrote her follow up emails and left telephone messages for her, none of which was returned. We had no idea why he was deferred. My son was so turned off by the process that he applied early decision-2 to a different school with a similar program and was accepted. I think she is an enthusiastic recruiter and is very good at our job, but we were very disappointed by her lack of candor and unavailability. I wish you better luck.
