ok, im not trying to brag but im a very "intelligent" high school senior, and all of my best friends are the same way .. kinda the "smart kid" group. anyway, all my friends applied to ivy league colleges, and i applied to the colleges one step below the ivys. however, while all of my friends are getting into these IVY LEAGUE schools, i got deferred (wait-listed) for one of my non-ivy colleges.
being deferred, especially to anything other than an ivy, suggests to my group of friends that i'm not on their level of intelligence, even tho it was only one school that deferred me. im afraid of them thinking that i'm not as smart bc of this.
so do i lie and say i got in? bc there is no way they can verify if i got accepted or deferred..
or do i just tell them i got deferred? if i do this, how can i put it so i dont sound like im stupid?

Be honest! Lies have a way of blowing up in your face. And you DON'T owe them any explanation. Just tell them you applied at whatever college and got deferred. It DOESN'T matter what they think, YOU KNOW you're as smart as they are!

tell the truth then you may save your self from every one because they will find out at the end. they will know if you go to that college or not. so tell the truth. You might not know it know but some other college is waiting for you to apply and they will accept you.

I think if they are really your friends they will accept the truth from you and support you. You don't have to tell then anything at this time. It is still early in the school year. wait and see what happens.

Why discuss that particular college with them at all? Just tell them about the schools you did get accepted out.
