<p>Hey. So I got deferred ED from Colby and I'm wondering what my chance is of getting in, and if I don't have one, then what my chance is for Wheaton College (MA).</p>

<p>Courseload: Didn't take any honors freshman year, which ended up being a huge mistake because it messed up my rank which is based of off weighted GPA at my school. After that, I took all honors or APs.</p>

<p>Recs: Good. One from my history teacher who has known me all four years, and had me for two, and talked about winning NHD and my love for history. One from my French teacher who also had me my freshman, sophomore, and senior year. I think she talked a lot about my growth a probably wrote a good one. I sent Colby an supplementary one from my English teacher this year who loves me. </p>
<p>Essays: I thought they were pretty good and creative. My Colby one was about defeating anorexia.</p>
<p>Work Experience: I had a job the summer after Sophomore year for a few months, and now I've been working at a restaurant for about 7 months. </p>
<p>Demonstrated Interest: I visited Colby 3 times, toured, interviewed, took a class, and just recently sent them a letter saying why Colby was the best match for me, etc. For Wheaton, I took a tour, interviewed, and went to an open house.</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
