So exciting! Congrats

To all those deferred, I am very sorry. Are you of the camp of you would rather have a deferral or straight out deny? I know when my oldest was deferred to U Penn it was very tough.

Deferred is meaningful this year with only 20% deferred. You all are strong candidates and will find a great home, Yale or otherwise. Continued best luck!

Denied, but sheā€™s fine. She has two other top choices that she is looking forward to. Iā€™m glad neither of us were Yale or bust ā€¦

If you click on the link to the YDN article, there is a nice graph on admit, deferral and reject rates over time. Two years ago the deferral rate started to come down from over 50%. IMO this is a good thing as there were a lot (probably most) of deferred applicants when it was at 50%+ who had no real chance and created false hope when people really needed to move on.

deferred. 4.0 GPA/1600 SAT, national level political leadership + awards, national piano competitions, presidentially recognized ā€œnonprofit,ā€ 90 minute interview, good teacher relationshipsā€¦ i think iā€™ll get over it, but i would definitely appreciate some advice moving forward

Iā€™m actually really happy with a deferral do you think thereā€™s a slightly better chance in regular since the percentage was so high
