@ecart17 did you visit?
I got deferred
From CA
EA political science major
1360 SAT, 3.28 UW, 3.72 W
12 APs/Honors
LOTS of ECs
but i can’t just visit umiami any day i want like it’s a big trip. i feel like that’s really unrealistic and unfair if we got deferred just because they believe we didn’t show interest by visiting campus… i mean there’s no supplement essay to express interest.
Also tbh i would much rather they reject me now than waiting for two more months only to see another rejection like…
@sagh527 the only interest they keep track of is early decision
@student1151 that’s actually false, seeing as early decision is the way to show the absolute MOST interest they wouldn’t need to track demonstrated interest only with the most interested applicants. Private schools like Tulane and Miami care about demonstrated interest from applicants of all types. I’m not saying it’s fair but it is what it is
There are other ways to show demonstrated interest besides visiting, write your AO an email and explain how much you want to go. It can’t hurt
