<p>you have a lot going for you. But your two biggest weaknesses are unfortunately some of the most important factors: your SAT and class rank. While I'm not saying your other stuff doesn't make up for it, you were deferred EA. Unless your two biggest weaknesses have changed dramatically since you first applied, I don't see your situation changing.</p>

<p>That being said, I've heard (though not through any credible source) that EA admissions are more number heavy than RD, which would bode well for you.</p>
