<p>Anybody bothering to 'beef up' his application between now and February or whenever it is?</p>
<p>^ this. I don’t know what I could do though. Not going to win anything exceptional. I suppose I could get another teacher rec or something…
anyone else?</p>
<p>I’m planning to send in an additional rec and just detail about some things I didn’t get to mention in the original app</p>
<p>Probably not much. Last year ~3000 were deferred and ~100 were ultimately accepted. This year, they accepted MORE applicants in the early round. Which means there will be less spots left in the regular round. </p>
<p>So while I will send a couple of updates about things I am currently working on, I’ll be heading into March feeling pessimistic about Harvard (which is okay - if you were deferred then you’re strong enough to have other great options available)</p>
