Do any of you have suggestions about ways to strengthen an application after being deferred for ED? Would it be wise to make another visit Charlottesville and try to meet with someone on the admissions committee? I’m applying out of state (I go to the #1 public high school in NC) and I have a 1530 SAT/32 ACT/SATIIs above 700. I will graduate with 6 APs, I have a 4.5 (weighted) GPA, and I’m in the top 10% of my class of about 400 people. I play varsity lacrosse (NC State Champs) and I have good EC’s and great recs, but no legacy. I’m not really sure what to think- I’ve heard it’s almost impossible to get an offer of admission in the spring if you have been deferred. Any ideas/comments would be greatly appreciated!
