# hard finch when to send LOCI?

I'm international and in a CBO that has 14 years of experience sending 40-70 students a year to T20s and ivies. What they've told me is that late jan- early feb is the best time as it gives you enough time to show progression.

I thought for sure itd be a guaranteed reject my graded paper wasn't even graded I forgot u needed the teacher grade so I literally downloaded what I had in google docs and uploaded that (though from what im seeing online I should count deferral as a reject anyways..)

does princeton release their own REA strats?

nope they dont

oof

what is the chance of making RD if I got deferred?

the deferal rate this year seems a bit lower

unborn valve
high mantle
#

when is the best time to send that?

nimble kraken
#

jan-feb

#

so they know you’ve had time to process stuff and u can add additional things such as ur midyear report and potentially new info like awards

tender lava
unborn valve
#

very important: if you get deferred and you have an interest in attending the school and you have substantial updates since submitting your application, you should submit a letter of continued interest in the beginning of january or february

unborn valve
# high mantle got it thanks

the other thing people do that is completely optional, not required, but can be meaningful, is to submit an additional letter of recommendation. when you get deferred from harvard, they explicitly recommend this, but having an additional champion who loves you write about how you need to get in can be important in pushing you over

bro a quadruple legacy and a double sibling legacy, both qualified applicants, didnt get in REA

they always should, unless they explicitly disallow (some schools really don't want more information)

Like outcomes wise

or for mit, they have a dedicated update form that everybody fills out so no letter of continued interest there

in the sense that it's not necessary to rewrite your entire application
