There's no way around it. This is probably the toughest decision (or maybe it's a "non-decision") to get from a school after applying under Early Action. In most cases (there are 3,150 of you), we have deferred students when we think senior grades are needed before making a final decision. At this point, you should simply make sure your mid-year report is sent when the grades from the first semester or second trimester are ready. Most of your counselors will do this automatically.
Feel free chat here. You should have already seen the link to the defer FAQ page, which answers the most common questions.
