<p>the teachers @ our school have an unwritten policy that they wont write the rec as well if we dont waive our rights to see the rec - so i never know good the recs were. but those teachers like me.</p>

<p>im starting the essays now but theyre real good so far.</p>

<p>just curious about my chances.&lt;/p>

<p>I think you have an idea of what your chances are, but, I want to get my number of posts up, so I will state the obvious. You have a better than average chance. Good luck!</p>

<p>ha, its just that i got deferred ED from columbia and right now i feel like i'm gonna get deferred/rejected from all the schools i like</p>

4

<p>I am truly sorry to hear that, I take back that brusque opening to my post. With your stats and activities, it was columbia's loss, and I am sure you will get into another great school.</p>

<p>don't worry about it. as an asian applicant with high stats from NJ, i was originally deferred from brown early and spent the next couple months thinking i would be rejected from my top choices. in the end, i was accepted by all the schools i applied to in the RD round (including brown, yale, and other selective places). my best guess is you'll do fine :)</p>

<p>columbia is annoying!</p>

7

<p>Don't sweat it too much. With stats like that, you'll get into a great school, quite possibly, Columbia or Brown in the RD round.</p>

8

<p>i want to say you'll get in because, besides the fact that i am a mostly white girl from California, I have such similar stats!!</p>

<p>good luck to both of us!</p>
