They were mainly focused on a niche in CS, and I had my own org that taught ~2,500 students in that niche. We partnered with three renowned institutions in that field and one of them wrote a really nice rec letter (likely played a solid part in my acceptance tbh)

How likely am i to get in after getting deferred

How likely am i to get in after getting deferred
their website says 20%, so better odds than being deferred at different campus i think (avg is 5-10%? could be wrong)

I saw some years it was 25%

Their admissions is funky

i think im pretty screwed, wasnt planning on sending fall grades anywhere and they arent the best 😬

Yo do I need to submit a LOCI or something if I got deferred?
I'm being edged with two deferrals right now and it's fucking with my brain lmao

Check what they say on ur admissions portal

It says to fill out this deferral form. Not sure if other deferred and then accepted students have submitted a LOCI in the past though
Congrats on your acceptance btw 🙂

I think if colleges ask for LOCIs they’ll state it— that’s what UMich asked me to do

do yk how much higher?

9% is crazy
9% acceptance or deferral rate?
cloud tiger
For this year?
small ermine
yeah
cloud tiger
Oof
small ermine
its not bad imo
steep quartz
do yk how much higher?
the actual percentages are not given but the acceptance rates overall for OOS are higher than EAII. for example, 12% for EAII in 2022 and 13% OOS overall for the entire year
that is only possible if a higher percentage of OOS students were accepted in RD
granted, theres also the factor that its impossible to be deferred in RD
steep quartz
does anyone know why transfer pathways are given?
they have it on their website
these are all the possible ways you can receive a transfer pathway

Whats the chance of being accepted after being deferred
worthy comet
granted, theres also the factor that its impossible to be deferred in RD
considering 21% get deferred it makes sense it's easier to get in RD
worthy comet
Whats the chance of being accepted after being deferred
~20%?

Thats good ig
steep quartz
Dyk the acceptance rate for cs last year?
i dont remember explicitly but i think it was around 10-11% overall
no idea about OOS, that info isnt published
if i had to guess, OOS CS would be around 8-9% if not lower
worthy comet
Honestly I’d consider it less “hey what’s the deferral RD acceptance rate”
And just consider it like you’re just a regular RD applicant
tacit plover
if i had to guess, OOS CS would be around 8-9% if not lower

you cant transfer into cs anymore

if you submit it for evaluation you might be able to get 15XX

1554 here is fucking awful

Should I try to get hard classes out of the way?

That’s standard right

Or should I get gen ed classes out of the way

its more like 46k 1st year and 43-46k the rest of the years depending on which meal plan and dorm u get. i go here rn and my parents pay although they make a lot so it depends on how much ur fam can handle. if u have a lot of AP/DE, u can also speed run graduation in like 2.5 years which comes out to around 115k. i've heard u can also get in state tuition after a year if ur parents change residency to ga (idk anything abt that so u might have to ask around). if the cost is too much then go to ur state school or apply to places with merit. also have you applied for fin aid? they do give fin aid to oos, although not tons

I wouldn’t say so. I would say they’re trying to determine “fit.”
“Fit.” Is shown with demonstrated interest, your supplemental, and your profile

tacit plover

worthy comet
i mean there are a ton of factors beyond fit and qualifications
Ofc!
I’m just saying that because a lot of people who are insanely qualified get straight up rejected and there are some factors that might be able to explain it like fit, bad stats/essays in one section, or even just well-roundedness
It’s such a mystery and we will never know what makes them think a certain way
tawny wraith
if i got deferred, how do i demonstrate fit in my loci
worthy comet
Well fit is how well you’d be at this school, so demonstrated interest is a way to show that as well as really honing in on what you love. I’m not good on writing locis because I really don’t know how they work but you should probably try to show continued interest and show your accomplishments this current year…
