<p>I would like to start off by saying that I absolutely despise these threads because I feel that they're stemmed from our own inadequacies but my stress level has gone through the roof. At this point I'll end up in a SUNY school if I don't get into either CUSE or UCONN. I'm not necessarily looking for random posts but rather precedent from students with similar stats. I applied Regular Decision, around January 7th.</p>

<p><em>The Best of me</em>
I forgot to mention that I applied as a political science major.</p>

<p>mmmmm..... it depends
i think what hurt you is applying so late...
i think you stand a chance but you might get waitlisted
good 1st and 2nd quarter grades though!! good luck!!!</p>

4

<p>Yeah, applying late hurts. Good rank, but SAT + out of state from NY is also going to hurt. Basically what MPM said.</p>

<p>Thank you both for your responses. I hope that I'm accepted rather than waitlisted, that would be very disappointing. UCONN was the only school that I didn't apply ridiculously early to. I was finished with my apps around early November and I discovered UCONN much later in the process. It seems like a lot of people were deferred under EA though, so I guess it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference.</p>

<p>I'd say you're probably going to be waitlisted. My friend applied with similar stats (slightly lower GPA and slightly higher SATs) and he got waitlisted, but I wish you the best of luck.</p>

7

<p>Thanks for all your replies guys, I just got a response today and I was flat out rejected no waitlist or anything. I'm a bit shocked but what can you do...</p>

8

<p>That's horrible to hear. I'm glad to see that you've got your head up. With that kind of attitude you'll go far in life. UConn missed out on a great prospect. Good luck.</p>

<p>why are you saying he applied late? The deadline was feb 1</p>

<p>What you can do knight is transfer in after a semester or two elsewhere. It seems a much easier route into UCONN, at least it used to be. Sorry you're not in.</p>
