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.
