<p>@Catria Yes, I have been accepted to Miami University, OSU, and Loyola Chicago. I also applied to the University of San Diego as well.</p>

<p>You are a shoo-in at USanDiego. I’m a little surprised that you were deferred at BC. Perhaps your ACT was a point too low and your course rigor an issue for immediate acceptance? I’m only guessing. Will you be needing any financial aid? If so, BC and USC probably not going to help much but I think your chances of acceptance at both are good. By the way, a “hook” would be if you were African American, 1st generation college student, etc. and not your CS and ECs…</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
