So, just like a lot of other sad people, I was deferred yesterday too 
Here are my stats:

Work Experience:

Letters:
-Couldn’t read it, but the teacher and I are really close so I think it was very good
Essays:
They were decent. I wrote my general one about my time flying, which I think is pretty “different” haha. For my “Why GT” I made sure to include very specific things about the school like teachers, courses, and research lab opportunities.
Other random info:
-Built an electric bike
-Was awarded an AF ROTC scholarship
-Organized and ran a talent show at school for charity
Questions:
1.) It seems like very few people get in RD. I plan on visiting GT a second time, would that help me at all?
2.) Because GT already asks for a list of the things that you’ve done since you submitted your app, what should I write in my letter of intent?
3.) How many other people are applying for Aerospace/ Astro engineering? I know it’s a pretty specific field so I’m curious who else is going into it? Send me a pm if you are!
