<p>I was differed by suffolk, they wanted to see my grades for the rest of the semester, they're 3 A's and one C, that C is in physics though. My GPA is a 3.07, and I have alot of extra curriculars.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the chances of me actually being accepted are?</p>
<p>“Deferred” is the correct spelling.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, not that it helped, or contributed, but it auto corrected me for someone reason…</p>
<p>I just got in EA! I never got in a C as a overall grade in a class before though… I guess you could say Suffolk was pretty much a safety for me. I’ll give you my quick stats though so you can get an idea:
3.37/4 GPA
1800 SAT
Good ECs, recs, and Honors (I got 2nd place at an FBLA National competition in Nashville this summer, which looks pretty good bc FBLA = business group = good for suffolk bc they love business peeps… even though I won’t be a business major)</p>
<p>So yeah, just to give you an idea I guess</p>
<p>Please keep your head up! I don’t know much of anything about Suffolk, but just because you were deferred doesn’t mean that it’s over. I have been deferred from two schools (my top choices nonetheless), but I am keeping my grades up. Keep your grades up, get another reccomendation, maybe have your guidance counselor talk to the rep that decides on your application, and most importantly, don’t give up! I know, it will all work out as it should.</p>
<p>mmelino,</p>
<p>Sorry to hear you were deferred.</p>
<p>In this case you need to show them you are serious about attending if admitted. If you do nothing at all, you run the risk of being waitlisted or denied IMO. </p>
<p>You should write a letter at minimum proving to them you are interested. If you have won any awards, scored higher SATs, taken on any new activities or a job, tell them about it. Perhaps write another essay explaining why Suffolk, adding things they did not see in the application previously. Anything that will strengthen your application, but at least show them further interest.</p>
<p>Also, you must prepare for the worst. Review your list again. If you are not confident in your safeties, consider sending out more applications now.</p>
<p>If you want anyone to help you with chances, you’ll have to post your GPA and SATs. Generally, you would be in good shape w/ a 2.5 GPA and a 1000 SAT, although it depends on your high school and rigor of your program.</p>
