Deferred, waitlisted and denied are three different situations. Most families treat them as three grades of the same bad news, and it costs them a month.

Teege Mettille spent two decades inside college admissions and enrollment management, up to the vice-president level. He has written these letters, defended these decisions in committee, and built the models that produced them. In this free 45-minute session, he walks families through what each decision actually means and what is still in their hands.

You’ll leave knowing:

• What deferred, waitlisted and denied each actually signal, and which ones still have moves in them
• The four reasons strong students get deferred, and why only one of them is about the student
• How to look up any college’s real waitlist odds in two minutes
• What to do in the first forty-eight hours, and the four things not to do
• How to write a letter of continued interest: what goes in it, in what order, and when to send it
• Why senior fall grades matter more this year than families realize
• How to ask the financial aid office for a second look, a separate door, and a far more productive one than an admission appeal
• What to say to your student this week, and what to avoid saying

Who this is for: Families of seniors waiting on early decisions or already holding one, and families of juniors who want to understand the process before they are inside it. Underclass parents are welcome and will learn more here than at any other session this year.

Every registrant receives the two-page take-home sheet, including the letter of continued interest skeleton and the aid reconsideration template, whether or not you attend live. The session is recorded and sent to everyone who registers.

Bring the actual wording of your decision letter. Teege can usually tell you what it means.
