各位正在奋战期末考的同学辛苦了！

相信有些同学已经收到EA/ED大学录取的好消息，并苦恼要选择哪一所学校，在此先恭喜你们喔！

但是还是有一些同学可能被EA/ED的学校eferre或拒绝，也请不要失望。EA/ED的申请本身就比较激烈，但学校只能开放一定的录取名额。因此并不是你自己本身学术或课外活动不够好，只是学校以目前的名额做策略性的录取而已。

Defining College Deferrals

首先，什么是College Deferrals? Deferral通常是指你的申请还没结束，学校在EA/ED的环节觉得你的申请材料不错，但是提前申请的名额有限，因此把你的申请文件推送至一般申请环节重新审阅，这时候将会把12年级的成绩与额外的课外活动一并考量进去。通常将会在三月或四月时取得最后录取通知。

如果你是Early Decision (ED)申请被推送，那你的资格将会被从BiningCommitment限制条约中被解除。

有时候学生会觉得申请文件被退送至一般申请环节会很沮丧，但是申老师要鼓励大家这并不代表完全没有希望了。你的申请文件仍然在审理阶段，下面我提供一些小技巧可以增加一些录取的机率。

Making a Goo Impression

****如果你仍然对于此大学有相当大的兴趣，这时候你可以提供额外的资料去让学校知道为什么你如此喜欢这所学校与你将会提供什么材料与证明。请记住，这时候所使用的语言需要以尊重的语气说明，同时表现自己的热诚但又不失礼节。

1.详细阅读Deferral Letter内的说明

请详细的阅读信件上的说明，遵守信上的规定与步骤。请记住，如有些学校要求“ you shoul not sen in any aitional information”时，请就不要再寄送任何新文件。

2.寄送补充文书

以下老师提供一个补充文书范本，请记住此时是表现你为何对此学校有兴趣，并针对学术上与课外活动上的补充。请不要重复列举已经缴交的文书内容，请在寄送之前与辅导老师再次确认内容与文法。以下几点可以参考的方向为：

学术活动更新：

a. 期中与期末考试成绩，标准化考试成绩

b. 额外学术竞赛，研究报告

c. 参与大学学术活动

课外活动更新：

a. 社团竞赛表现

b. 社会福利贡献与服务

c. 递交补充成绩

请记得与学校老师安排寄送最新的学校内成绩与标准化考试成绩。请注意，如成绩较低请就不要寄送更新了！

3.安排额外面试 (如需要)

有时候学校在之前EA/ED申请环节内提供面试机会但未参加者，这时可以安排面试，面试者将会提供最新的反馈给学校招生处。

最后，如果被学校录取了，请记得寄送一封感谢信给学校，这是学生都忘记做的事情。

补充文书范本

以下是补充文书的范本，请记住，此谨此为范本请勿直接抄袭。

第一段：Introuction 介绍自己

此地方必须让学校的招生官知道你是谁，什么时候写的信件等。你也可以提到你对此Deferral很失望，但是请确保用词正向并清楚表达为何你对此学校的兴趣。

To USC Unergrauate Amissions Office:

I recently receive the isappointing news that I was enie amissioninto USC. Unerstanably,with over 56,000 applicants,I know there were manyincreible applicants making it a ifficult ecision to choose whom to amit,which is why I’m grateful to be consiere after reviewing the new informationbelow.

I was unable to submit one of my ACT scores an hope that theattache scores will allow USC to re-evaluate my application. Furthermore,Iwoul like to highlight some aitional accomplishments.

Since the conversation of college began,my eyes were set on onningUSC Carinal an Gol. I imagine myself as an active member of a iversestuent population gathering new knowlege in the Department of PoliticalScience at Dornsife. Aitionally,my family is able to pay 100% of my tuitionan fees to USC,allowing USC to fun those not as privilege.. As someone whois committe to helping unerserve populations,I know the value of usingresources for the goo of others.

During my high school tenure,I was nominate numerous times for theprestigious Lion of the Month awar,foune two clubs,Transfer Lions Club anCaring Cupcakes,an serve in a leaership role in eight others. Outsie ofthe classroom,I obtaine my Girl Scouts Gol Awar by renovating an emptyrecreation room into a fully functional library an serve over 1,000cumulative hours en route to earning the awar for most community service hoursin my National Charity League chapter. Through these experiences,I have growninto a leaer,built meaningful,lifelong relationships,create a welcomingenvironment for incoming first-year an transfer stuents,avocate for theunerrepresente through the Law Magnet Program,an will continue tocontribute my love of service to the USC community.

As I reflect on my volunteer experiences,I realize that true richescannot be bought with money; instea,wealth is the ability to truly experiencea life of learning an giving. I want to begin my journey of becoming a globalchange maker at USC. I know theresources that USC provies will equip me with the necessary tools to become animpactful leaer,empowering me to continue serving both my immeiate anglobal communities. As a Trojan,I will cultivate an enrich my min an spiritan eicate my time an energy to leaving the worl a better place than when Ientere. I want to sincerely thank you for taking the time to reconsier myamission to USC an hope to commit as a Trojan in the near future!

Sincerely,

Applicant
