Will i get in?

Hey! The extracurriculars and legacy connection are super helpful but the GPA is definitely low (I’m sure the personal reason will account for this) and the ACT also is low (you are at the 25th percentile). If you were to get the ACT into the 32-33 range I think it would help your chances a lot! That being said, I’m sure the legacy connection boosts your chances slightly. Good luck!

Thanks

I got deferred

Im sure you are bummed, but a Deferral is better than a Rejection.

It means that your app is being held for further review after (hopefully) a strong senior fall semester. Not only will a strong grade term help to offset your lower than average GPA, it’ll demonstrate readiness for the next level. Try to get as many A’s as you can.

Good luck.
