Types of Admission Decisions

  • Accept

    The applicant is formally admitted to the college or university.

     

    Deny

    Admission was not granted.

     

    Defer

    The college or university determines that more information is needed to make a final decision about the applicant.  They will often want to see the seventh semester grades and/or new test scores.

     

    Wait List

    If a student is notified that they are on a wait list, this means that the college has many more qualified students than they can accept.  Students being offered admission from the wait list generally will be notified after the May 1 National Reply Date.
