<p>For all those who were deferred and then accepted into the class of 2011, what did you do between the deferall and the acceptance?</p>
<p>I was just going to send an e-mail updating them with new things/explaining older things in more detail, and possibly expressing my interest in Caltech. Did you do more? Did you do less? What's your secret?</p>
<p>Perhaps another letter of recommendation? Don't send if it says the same thing, but if comes from someone who can represent another part of you, that could be useful.</p>
<p>So....I was deferred, then waitlisted...For the deferral, I did not send anything but a note that said I was preparing for the Physics Olympiad. In March, I received another thin-looking envelope. Theeeeen, I've sent a photoshop picture with a short explanation and a "research" paper from SSP...And now I am here and I am happy :)</p>
<p>a photoshop picture? why? what was the picture of?</p>
