@yikesyikesyikes. Same. It’s already angering people but as an aside programs like Georgia Tech 3 years ago asked for a written statement if a student were staying in the process. This is just more formalized. Plus they want grades prior to February… Maybe it will weed out people that really don’t want to go on or not. Not sure.
The preliminary stats will be out soonish but the amount of higher stat kids both accepted and deferred seems to be higher this year, just on the eye test.
