<p>He’s in. <em>thud</em></p>
<p>@Vikram, my interviewer told me that for early action grades and scores are what they look at most, plus it helps if you’re a legacy. She said they don’t consider you as a person as much until regular decision, which kinda stinks.
My grades and scores were higher, and I got deferred, but that might not mean anything. This whole process really just has to do a lot with how lucky you are!</p>
<p>agreed with luketoast! My first essay was very powerful according to my teacher, and I was really proud of it…plus I definitely thought it would have invoked the sympathy vote, but guess not…hopefully next time!</p>
<p>Err, even Yale has a higher acceptance rate for SCEA, 14.4%.</p>
<p>Something tells me that Pre-Med is an auto-deferral.</p>
<p>Just got accepted!!! I cannot even breathe!!! Northern NJ NHS international health pre med!!!</p>
<p>why do i live in california…</p>
<p>Deferred 
while it is upsetting it does not come as that much of a surprise. An acceptance rate of 13% does not instill any hope. I am just going to try to figure out a plan of action, and try to wow them for Regular Decision. I think they will see more of me in the Regular Decision pool</p>
<p>Oh my god mail carrier get your **** together and give me my letter!!
I want to find out.
Also, I’m not sure of this “not caring about essays/recs during ea” thinking. If that was true, why wouldn’t they require sat ii scores to be in- which by the way I’m freaking out about. Just took them in December</p>
<p>Accepted!!</p>

<p>i hate people who have gotten their letters.</p>

<p>i think people in california would be lucky to get it by saturday. maybe early next week:( but apparently if you don’t get it by saturday you can call the office of admissions monday morning to find out.</p>
<p>ahhhhh thats so bad. i havent heard back from anyone yet haha anxiety is killing me</p>
