Deferred-What do you think?

<p>Well sorry to say but I have been deferred by my number one choice school University of Illinois Urbana. ><'' I'm really worried about getting accepted. I applied to the college of business which I know is hard to get into but appliications are also automatically consider for other programs based on interests and for undeclared major programs. Let me know what you think my chances are and if you have any advice that'd be great!</p>

<p>Your profile is strong except for your so-so ACT score. I suppose you missed the top 10% rank, too,
and maybe that is weighted GPA? I'm somewhat surprised you were deferred and predict that you will be accepted later if you keep your grades up. Good luck!</p>
