- Getting deferred sucks. I know this because I was deferred from my dream school. Luckily, I have one actionable tip (in fact, the most important thing that's still in your control) for turning that deferral into an acceptance come springtime :)

Hey Kev,
I didn’t get deferred but I really appreciate how much effort you’re putting into these videos (which aren’t even monetised!) keep going man, you might just help someone get into their dream school!
Thanks Vas! Your boy Kev (me lol) is literally out here grinding on videos during the holidays that I believe may hopefully somehow change someone's destiny for the next four years. I literally mean it with every fiber in my body when I say I'm rooting for you guys!!
Definitely a video to come back to when I am in the thick of the college application process, as I am only a 9th grader, and have a while yet until I’m applying to college.
New deferred Yale applicant checking in ✊
OMG ME TOO!! Im on here to write my deferred letter!
Thanks Kevin for your tips on how to structure and writing a deferral letter. Showing your example was really helpful to see the layout and content in one! Hopefully I won't have to write one in the future during my application process😅
As promised, a link to my deferral letter to Princeton! docs.google.com/document/d/1AHFCEpKIP9yve9TwkiLlpoa21L50i42h93AQ6-BM2YI/edit
Really needed this LOL just got waitlisted at one of my top choices 😭
Breathe Anne! You still have a shot!
@@elevatedschool Praying 🙏
Thank you so much for this video Kevin! You LITERALLY posted it at the perfect time :)
you're welcome Arya :))
Did you get in
Love love love the last sentence hahaha!!
thanks Hanna! I mean it!!
Is it worth it to write a deferral letter if I really don't have anything to update them on. I submitted my app two months ago and really haven't "accomplished" anything since then. They also don't ask for for a letter of continued interest. Does it make sense to write them an email and just say "hey, this is still my number one choice"
Thank you so much for this video Kev! Even though I'm a Junior and will be applying next year this information really has helped me in case I get a Deferral Letter!! Keep up the great work man :)
You're welcome Phoenix!!

Did you send the letter right away after getting your deferral? I recently got deferred from Yale, and this was VERY helpful! Thank you :)
What's up Taeeun! I recommend sending it in mid-late January :)
@@elevatedschool Thank you so much again! Your videos have been more than helpful this year with all this craziness!!
@Isaiah Doble fingers crossed Isaiah!
Hope you get into Yale or got into Yale!
the fact that they expect you to have more accomplishments in the 1-2 months after you submit your application is ridiculous
Were you deferred through Questbridge? I applied for Questbridge Match and unfortunately didn't match. I'm trying to assess if I should send a letter to Yale.
I recently got deferred from yygs. What can I do? I also emailed them about my recent exta-curricular and achievements (like WHO, Harvard free online certificate course, my new transcript with improved grades) Please help me😭😢🙏🙏🙏
Hmm, I'm not too sure about deferral from summer programs - I think what you've already done is great!
Thanks for replying 🙏🙂
I got defered from dartmouth ED and they said that no need to send any extra materials so should I send a loci or just back off?
Hi! I was deferred from Yale? Are there any Yale-specific tips for the letter I should pay attention to?
Hey Kevin, I was just wondering what the best way to submit a deferral letter is? Just email it to the admissions office? Same thing for an additional rec... how should I have them send it in?
I'd ask your college counselor - varies from school to school!
Hi, would you take a look into my "Continued Interest" essay?
Sure! I’d be happy to! Please upload it to www.elevated.school/editmyessay
If I defer my admission to the next batch and I got my visa, can I reverse the defferal and resume college on the original batch?
Specifically how were you able to turn $40,000 into $110,000 in one year?
Which year was that?
I pretty much went all-in on Tesla stock haha
That letter was good
THANK U!!!!!!! this was super helpful!! king shit!!
