<p>Hi!
I was wondering if someone would like to look at my Common App, and deduce why I was deferred. Has anyone on herew worked in admissions/counseling?</p>
<p>The schools look for a different type of applicants every year. Of course, the “what” is a closely guarded secret. </p>
<p>Honestly, I still think I was eligible for at least a deferral, but I guess I was waaayy off their target :)) </p>
<p>Your SAT score seems low for Ivies.</p>
<p>Your test scores are low. </p>
<p>Besides, not every stellar candidate can be accepted. There simply isn’t room for every worthy applicant. </p>
