<p>I'm pretty positive that I'll get deferred or rejected, it is definitely a reach for me. I'm applying to a lot of other LACs that are reaches. Safeties at SUNY-Binghamton and Union College, so I guess I should be okay.</p>
<p>Also, I was really mad because the October 23rd test date was canceled because the power went out at our school at the end of the first section. So the test was rescheduled to November 13th, which is really really late to send in my new score to Midd. :(
Oh well.</p>
