@Yomo710 YES!, im (in a really strange sense) Extatic that I got deffered… I knew about it a week prior…
There was one aspect of my application that was not worthy of Harvard… and now, its time to fix that

Deferred.
Deferred
@verizonwireless what do they actually allow you to update?
Do we still have a chance regular decision?
deferred.
Deferment is only made tolerable through the smooth bars of Young Thug. Thugger guide me through these dark times.
Deferred. Actually kind of happy that I wasn’t rejected.
lol this wasn’t even my first choice
@Yomo710 I don’t really know… any updates…
Deferred just means that you are “good enough” for Harvard, but Harvard doesn’t give a flying f about good enough… They want the best…
So they defer you to regular action, Just in case someone with a similar story but better GPA and/or SAT comes along, so that they can admit them…
Lets say your an asian from Minnesota with a 2300 and 3.9, and you run track… nothing about your app is “STAND OUT EXCEPTIONAL”, so Harvard will defer you to RD, and if in RD, some asian from Minnesota with a 2350 and a 4.0, runs track and fences… they’ll take the latter. If not, they’ll take the first asian.
In my case, I believe my app was exceptional, very Harvard worthy, however, there was an objective factor which made my application seem “modest”… thats why I was deferred…
I know what I have to do, and in January, i’ll make Harvard feel this roar…
Deferred.
@verizonwireless what exactly is this “thing you have to do” you keep talking about? you know they will only accept significant accomplishments. They don’t want a revised essay or resume or something. You can’t change your application after it has been submitted.
What do you do if you got deferred? Do we really still have a chance or is it mostly a formality?
Never, in a million freaking years, would I have expected this
Accepted!
I was accepted, guys. I know that I would not have been able to get through this nerve-wracking time with out you. Congrats to all who were accepted! Also, if you were deferred, I really wish the best you in the RD round.
Does anyone know like the percentage of deferred students that get in
Guys, I got in! ACCEPTED! Wow
Guys I know i’m new here, but accepted! Incredibly grateful and blessed. I was expecting a deferral and criticizing all my faults, but spending time on this thread almost every night in the last few weeks have helped a lot. Seeing other people in my shoes who have worked so hard to get where they are today is truly amazing. I won’t ever forget this moment. It hasn’t sunk in to be completely honest. Congratulations to all those who were accepted; for those who were deferred, you always got to keep your head up. You will go where you are meant to be and have the best four years of your life there! God bless…
Congrats to everyone who was accepted! I’m so very proud of all of you!
