<p>Your GPA falls into the range of folks that are getting defferred. Some have even been declined. Read the entire rejection thread and you’ll see more of the specific stats.</p>
<p>first, thanks guys, and i read some of the rejections. but the rumor i heard was that this year’s upcoming class was one of the best classes academically in a long time. i can only hope that my class wouldnt be that large. </p>
<p>Your ACT and SAT are fine, but the GPA will hurt you. Several years ago the average incoming student had a 3.5. Now they are getting more rigorous and expecting a 3.6.</p>
<p>Maybe it is an instate/out of state thing? Or interest level? Maybe your friend showed a lot more interest in the school with visiting and such.</p>
<p>Perhaps… also, he’s Phillipino, so that might be a readon (expanding the diversity thing). Anyway, I’m in a similar position as I’ve got a 3.2(or close to) weighted and a 2060 sat. I also think I wrote a pretty kick ass essay, in addition to good letters of reccommendation. sooooo I’ll tell you guys what happens!</p>
<p>BTW it’s in ‘evaluation’ and has been there for a while… I don’t know what this means!</p>
<p>OOOHHH and superhenderson, if you keep up the good work this year I’m pretty sure you’ll get in =]</p>
