#

A lot of people apparently get deferred cuz clemson doesn't want to be considered a "safety"

Btw do we need to write a letter of continued interest

tidal ocean
#

i mean you don't need to but it'd probs be good :P

wraith egret
#

Oh I'm so glad I found this

#

So excited to be deferred 😍

rotund merlin
#

wait i've been thinking you're a sophomore all this while bc of your role

#

loll

static tulip
#

am i cooked for regular accept if i got bad grades in senior year? the point of deferral is that they want to see you do even more in senior year right

rotund merlin
#

but also the point of deferral is that they wanna see the rest of their applicants as well so sometimes its not even about you

static tulip
#

thank you this helps

pseudo jackal
#

I was deferred here by a mod

cyan kayak
#

LOCI gang we ball

pseudo jackal
#

I think lots of people will have more impressive developments in their loci but I will not sweat it

#

Because it’s all contextual

cyan kayak
#

jus yap a lil

pseudo jackal
#

Yeah it’s gonna be a page or barely over a page

#

Im waiting to see if my astronomical logs are accepted for an award from the astronomy club I joined

#

That would mean a lot to me

#

And I’m waiting to see my chair placement at all state

#

That could be importante because if I chair pretty high I can say it’s the higher I’ve ever chaired

#

Plus my promotion in the brass quintet

#

And the fundraising initiative I did for my robotics tesm

#

And my grades are straight As!!!!

#

Exciting

#

Im excited to know I still have a great shot

cyan kayak
#

i feel like the LOCI is like hella framed

#

first two sentences r gonna be like identical for everyone

pseudo jackal
#

I switched it up a little bit by saying that being from a rural place, deferral means a lot to me

#

I don’t know how personal or itemized to get though

#

#

rejections are a lot more but idk if thats just like some form of bias

wooden plume
#

idk man

pseudo jackal
#

It’s about 50% in this server so I’d guess closer to 30-40% overall

pure hill
#

i hope so

pseudo jackal
#

If you don’t get in I’m sure some other school will have you

#

international who needs aid 🙏😭

pseudo jackal
#

About 10% of deferrals get accepted regardless so your chances are still decent

#

international who comes from an oil country known for sending full-pay kids and is a primary cash cow needs aid 😭

#

For anyone who got deferred from Clemson, where do you submit a LOCI? Is it the text box they give you for additional info?

#

Also can new rec letters be submitted through common app, cause there is an upload for rec letters on the portal and I want to make sure i'm sending it from the right place.

pseudo jackal

Where do u sumbit loci for Stanford

nova cliff
#

just found out like literall everyboyd that applied EA to cwru (like 30) from got deferred 😭

#

from my school

novel oak
#

bc yield protection and stuff

nova cliff
#

my hs is the best in the city and is known for sending a lot of kids to t20/ivy

#

so i guess cwru wanted to avoid being a t20/ivy backup

novel oak
#

some less qualified people than me got deferred tho so i really dont know

nova cliff
#

for me less qualified and more qualified got deferred

#

everyone was a victim

#

lo

rotund merlin
#

yield protection may be true but logically colleges climb up the ladder by accepting more 'cracked' students and thus producing more cracked outcomes and so they wouldn't yield protect everyone
