18/664 (top 3%), Decent ECs, unique (I think) essay.</p>

<p>I am so grateful to be accepted, and don’t worry third, they well end up accepting you too.</p>

<p>I didn’t interview. I wish I had a chance to visit campus though!</p>

<p>35 ACT, 4.0 UW GPA (as of when I submitted my app), 4 APs last year (all 5s) and taking 3 this year
My ECs are decent, but not superb
I think my essays were pretty good. I definitely showed interest.</p>

<p>I did have an interview, and it went very well. My interviewer told me I would be a good match for CC. I would definitely suggest an interview if at all possible.</p>

<p>Oh, I should say that I also did interview. Here is my entire Chance Me post so you can see everything I did…</p>

<p>Alright I was deferred with a 30 ACT and 3.89 UW. Now I have a 33 and it’s already been sent to them. I have quite a few APs and I am currently in a class at Reed college. I am right at the top 5 percent for my class. I think 17/333. I have a lot of ECs: 2 varsity sports, volunteer work with kids in art and ecology, art and music stuff. Nothing national but lets just say all 10 activities were filled up. I also have state and national awards for my sports. Whew. I hope I get in RD…</p>

<p>I looked online, but my decision isnt up yet :frowning:
Should I just check again later to see if it updates?</p>

<p>Deferred. 2020 SAT 4.6 GPA.</p>

<p>I think you have a really good chance! Your scores are really impressive (:</p>

<p>Thirrdplanet-- It looks like your ACT was the only thing keeping you from being accepted, so I think with your score up 3 points you should be good! :)</p>

<p>I was kinda expecting there to be some mention of financial aid? Oh, well. Guess I gotta wait til the package comes in the mail!</p>

<p>Thanks guys! I intend to show my interest as well. Ah I wish I would’ve gotten in but it is good they didn’t out right reject me. My financial need coupled with no hook and a lowish score were probably holding me back. Here’s to hoping my new score helps!</p>

<p>Does anyone know when the package will be in the mail by?</p>

<p>They mailed the package today.</p>

<p>I guess i should post my stats as well…
Deferred
800 CR, 730 M, 690 W
4.4 GPA
Full IB diploma candidate
ECs: Varsity sports year round, I started a chess club at my school, officer in volunteering club.</p>

<p>Didn’t interview though.</p>

<p>Deferred too!
I’m an international needing substantial aid (FC~5K) so that’s not so bad :slight_smile:
2180 SAT</p>

<p>I honestly don’t think they would defer you for that one thing. They probably just don’t want to accept so many people early action because they need to leave some room for regular people. They deferred us because they have an interest but it wasn’t as overwhelming as the people they accepted. We have to give them another reason to accept us! They also might not want to give all the aid away either. I need quite a bit which probably affected things.</p>
