<p>Good luck to those of you deferred, I think you have a really great shot at regular from what I've seen. Don't fret about your scores either: my SAT was 1310 M/CR, and that's the latest, so they may have used the 1290 from my junior year for EA. Scores really AREN'T everything!</p>

<p>Haha. Mailman came, got my ND acceptance letter, but nothing from Georgetown. Doesn't matter though, cause I called at 11 AM from one of my school's bathroom stalls and found out then.</p>

<p>It was funny, before I began to give the guy my info, he was like "are you sure you are ready for a really positive or really negative moment?"</p>

<p>ACCEPTED!!! Georgetown College!</p>
