<p>I got deferred by U Chicago today, so I am wondering what's the chance for me to get in in regular pool? Do they defer a lot of people? is there anyway that I can do to optimize my chances?</p>

<p>Personal Statement: about my experience with violin and music.
supplement: I chose topic three: between living and dreaming there is a third thing. I wrote about my experience with a girl in Ecuador volunteer. I had an English professor and he liked it so I think it should be fine.</p>
<p>On Uchicago’s website it said something like 10percent of deferrals get accepted in the spring, if that’s what you are looking for here</p>
<p>@Babygoingdown-Did you get accepted???</p>
<p>I have applied EA to U of Chicago this year and I have got deferred and I really want to get in. I am from India so that makes me an International Student and I am looking for full financial aid. My profile is as follows:</p>
