What To Do if Deferred
What if you get deferred from your Early Decision or Early Action college?
Is it all over?
Or is it some other form of bad news? Or possibly good news? Something else?
What should you do, drive up and pitch a tent outside the admissions office until you can plead your case?
Send in your latest grades?
Dash off a quick LOCI (that's Letter of Continued Interest for all you acronynphiles out there)?
Barrage your admissions officer with 25 fresh letters of recommendation from non-giving alumni, your mom's sister's ex-neighbor who served as assistant vice dean of Ecogastronomy back in '83, or the guy who owns the deli where your kid buys bacon egg and cheese sandwiches (saltpepperketchup?) every morning?
I'm going to delve into these issues and more tomorrow night, during our "flash" online session, What To Do if Deferred -- How to boost your odds of acceptance to the college that deferred you.
