<p>I've already been accepted to U. of Michigan engineering, if that helps put things into perspective at all. </p>

<p>I got deferred after ED, and I have similar SAT scores. But I doubt I have a chance compared to you considering that my rank is 48/368 and I don’t have as good EC’s as you. So if you didnt get anything from that, know that you have a better chance than someone who was at least considered after ED.</p>

<p>Ha that’s good to know, thanks, and good luck with your RD.</p>

<p>What was your ACT, if you sent it?</p>

<p>Looks great, I say you will be going to school in Houston come August. </p>

<p>Where else did you apply?</p>

5

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>I also applied to Cornell, Duke, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Stanford (why not? ha), Michigan (accepted already), and Northwestern. </p>

<p>Any chances for those schools too?</p>
