About this listen

A deferral isn’t a no– it can be a NOT YET. It can also be a way for schools to ‘kick the can’ down the road or a “soft no”. 

 

Look at their stats– did they defer 10% or 100% of the non-accepted students? 

 

How is a deferral different from a waitlist? 

 

First, see what the school wants from you– typically:

Update on grades

Possibly an update on scores, if you have new ones to share

And if schools allow you to update them on your activities, DO SO. 

 

Headspace MATTERS. Can’t be angry/disappointed. Think of this as another shot at it– and if you haven’t ‘improved yourself’, DO SO NOW– take a course, volunteer more.

 

But you ABSOLUTELY want to ensure that you have some backup plans ready to go in case that this doesn’t happen.
