<p>I was deferred early action</p>

3

<p>bump anyone?!?</p>

4

<p>I think the only thing that may hold you back is the ACT score, since you explained the reasoning behind your GPA… I got deferred EA, too, and haven’t heard back either… Good luck!</p>

5

<p>Yeah, that ACT score is a bit low. Hopefully they’ll look past it given your experience in kines</p>

<p>My girl lindddssyyyyyy, I remember you from the EA thread! What was your illness?</p>

7

<p>the thing is, the average ACT score for kinesiology is a 27 and the average gpa is a 3.7 (it says it on their website) so it is a little lower than LSA and Engineering for say, so I am not sure if that helps out at all. my illness was depression, but i dont really want to get into it on here…</p>

8

<p>I don’t really know if anyone with depression is ill, per say.
But I think you have a decent-ish shot.</p>

<p>it was junior year, everything is fine now… i didnt really want to get into it on this thread, i just wanted it to be a chance thread…</p>

<p>Jeez, sorry. Thought it might help you. Guess not. </p>

<p>I deleted my post, now it can go back to being your chance thread. Sorry for trying to shed some light on the issue, since you brought it up.</p>
