<p>deferred from SFS</p>
<p>Ha, I promised myself that I wasn't going to obsess over my result and that I'd wait for the letter, but reading through everyone else's results I'm getting anxious. I think I'm gunna call.</p>
<p>admit sfs received today in Chicago!</p>
<p>:'( deferred to SFS</p>
<p>Probably cuz of my 1500/2400 SAT score.
I'm so sad, I was expecting it...but I was still hoping for something.
The worst part was waiting over the weekend...when I skipped out going to a friend's bday party just to wait for this stinking letter.</p>
<p>But congrats to those who got it. I envy you guys.</p>
