<p>I do have a few blemishes on my transcript (C's); however, I have a very strong course-load, and my volleyball takes up about 19 hrs of my week...that's without travel to several tournaments throughout the nation. I think my essays are interesting, and reflect my unique, rather diverse upbringing.</p>

<p>WHAT ARE MY CHANCES?</p>

2

<p>Are you recruited at all for the volleyball program? A girl at my school got in through volleyball early, but you might have a chance on deferral if there are still spots left.</p>

3

<p>do you speak korean too? being quadrilingual should have been a huge advantage. what school/program did you apply to? </p>

<p>your grades will really help, write a letter reaffirming your interest. good luck</p>

4

<p>You have a 10% chance just like everyone else that was deferred.</p>
