<p>Please chance me for the Regular Decision pool of the following schools: Duke, UPenn CAS, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, WashU, BC, Georgetown, Emory, UVA, UNC, Tulane, and Babson College</p>
<p>I think I was deferred from Tulane because I didn't show interest and it seemed obvious that it was my safety (I didn't write the optional essay). I am now going to write the optional essay and update them with what I've done since I submitted my application.</p>
<p>I think I was deferred from Duke because of my first quarter grades (2 B's) and the fact that the Valedictorian from my school was also applying. Since then, I have improved my grades and have updated my application with recent extracurricular and leadership improvements.</p>
