Colleges deferring more students

USA Today - February 21, 2012

With a growing number of seniors applying for "early action" from colleges, more are being deferred, reports this February 21, 2012 article in USA Today.

The article goes on to suggest that deferred applicants should keep up senior-year grades since all schools want midyear grades from deferred applicants and that students can also submit new accomplishments, awards or udpated test scores.

"A letter reaffirming interest in the school is a good move," it says.
