<p>Just keep in mind that if an athlete (or legacy for that matter) from your particular school is applying, it could very well affect your particular outcome. Also, even though Haverford’s viewbook says that ED applicants can be accepted, deferred, or denied, we were told by a couple different folks in admissions that they try really hard to avoid sending out deferrals. I’m guessing, based on that old New York Times series about Haverford athletics/admissions (see below), that they reserve deferrals for athletes.</p>
