    COLLEGE ADMISSIONS DECISIONS

     

    Offer of Conditional Admittance is acceptance to a college provided that you maintain your academic performance for the remainder of the year. A college can revoke your acceptance if your grades fall significantly, if your course rigor changes or you are involved in a disciplinary action.

     

    Denial is a final decision not to offer admission. Students can apply again after completing at least a semester of college coursework elsewhere.

     

    Deferment is a delay of admission until a later time. Many competitive colleges will defer applications submitted in the fall to the spring in order to receive additional grades and other information.

     

    Wait List means that you meet the admission requirements but the college has accepted all they have room to accommodate at that time. If an opening becomes available you may be offered admission. If you are added to a waitlist you should follow any instructions provided by the institution to remain on the waitlist.
