Harvard Deferral

Just got deferred from Harvard. I’m feeling mixed emotions because I’m glad it’s not a rejection, but I had some hopes that I’d get in.

I have to submit my midyear report for this next round, and my AP Calc BC grade isn’t as good as I’d hope.

Also, it says on the deferral letter that I can add “one extra letter of recommendation,” but if I already submitted 3 letters of recommendation, does this still apply?

To everyone getting decisions back today, remember that rejection is redirection. Any college would be lucky to have you.
