<p>@Fri612 Not sure how admissions will take it but you certainly won me over.</p>
<p>@Fri612 that is great appeal. If you send it Harvard, you might even have got a likely letter. just kidding. 
</p>
<p>accepted to uminn twin cities, purdue, and uchicago so far. hoping im 4/4 after today! good luck to everyone! (-:</p>

<p>That was my son’s plan with Illinois until they cancelled their EA program. He had to add several schools to his list just in case he is rejected in February. I really had to push him to get his early apps in so that he would be in at least somewhere before all the RD apps are due.</p>
<p>I’m still not sure of acceptances actually coming out today, are we certain that some came out or are these all rumors??</p>
<p>My kid was deferred at Wash U. so now it’s this or spend the next two weeks frantically applying to more schools </p>
<p>@Sando97 99% sure its true</p>
<p>I got deferred. I received an email at 2:33 PM. </p>
<p>Was it signed by Erica L Sanders?</p>
<p>Sigh I finally decided to post- deferred. </p>
<p>36 ACT, OOS, LSA, 3.9 GPA. </p>
<p>Oh well…</p>
<p>I just received. got deffered…fuck</p>
<p>@carlsandburgsr yes</p>
<p>Two of the other kids from my school just got their deferral letters at the same time. There are 4 of us who applied. I haven’t heard anything… So much anxiety! </p>
<p>People who are being deferred, last year there was two deferral letters, one signed by Theodore L Spencer Sr Vice Provost and the other by a lesser person, I think Erica L Sanders is the good one or Spencer equivalent of last year. For Erica’s email would u mind posting its content?</p>
<p>Just got deferred… Sigh. Gave it a shot, but it was just not meant to be. </p>
<p>Got deferred by Erica.</p>
