I was deferred. Does anyone know what fraction of people get deferred usually? Like is it around 50% or what?
Deferred. My playlist is ready lmao.
I think 55%. Does anyone know how many people applied?
So how soon is too soon to email?
You know what, I’ll just do it now. I am obsessed. Sorry, not sorry if I really want to attend your school.
Where else are you guys applying? We might cross paths elsewhere too.
UC was my most selective school so I’m not too surprised with the deferral. I also applied to Berkeley (IS California) and a handful of other UCs and private colleges.
@kajmahal I did it the same night I was deferred. Make sure you proof-read it though, pretend this is another essay.
@HydeSnark thanks for the advice. I don’t want to come across too strong, but I figure everyone will be emailing in. Thanking UChicago for even considering me and assuring them that I still want to go there more than anything seems to be my best bet.
I GOT IN!!! I hope all of you who got deferred will receive good news soon. Remember you are all awesome!!!
@greysanatomy3113 what were your stats?
@kajmahal I wrote some more general advice in another thread http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-chicago/1842679-advice-from-a-former-deferree.html#latest
That is probably your best bet. In retrospect my email was coming on way to strong but somehow it worked. I recommend getting a friend who didn’t just suffer an awful disappointment to proof-read it before you send it.
@mollikinz I also applied to the UC schools too! Hoping to get into UCLA so I can stay in Los Angeles, haha. Also applied to Columbia, Bard,Brown, Reed and a couple more private schools.
Deferred
Deferred again. 2310 SAT, 4.7 gpa, usamo qualifier, arml tiebreakers. Gotten rejected/deferred to everywhere I’ve applied so far 
@boulangerie Haha I didn’t apply to UCLA because there is no way I’d want to stay in LA for college. I wish you luck though!
for those who was accepted by ED and also accepted here today, they should withdraw from UChicago before today’s result so other can get in instead of being deferred!
deferred
I got deferred. Really frustrated, but oh well. Time to start other applications!
Hoping for some good news come March/April!
@NotVerySmart Are you planning on matriculating at UChicago?
So, most of you will be joining me in the RD round. Good luck guys! We’ll need that s***
Oh I should start my other 10 applications soon
