Hi guys! Recently got deferred from my Early Action school (bummer, I know), and I'm putting together my Regular Decision apps now. Does anyone have insight into any potential disadvantages of going through RD after EA? Are there any particular things I should focus on to make my RD applications stronger?
Hey there! Sorry to hear about the deferral, but don't lose hope 鈥� Regular Decision rounds offer another shot at securing your place in a college that's right for you. One downside of RD is increased competition since more applicants are in the pool compared to Early Action. However, RD gives you more time to polish your applications, gather strong letters of recommendation, and potentially improve test scores or fall semester grades. To make your RD applications stand out, focus on tailoring your essays to clearly show why you're a great fit for each school and reflect on any new accomplishments or experiences you've had since your EA submission. Good luck!
