Reflection

Strengths:
Weaknesses: Not sure, probably greatest was freshman year GPA
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: Freshman GPA
Where else were you accepted/deferred/rejected: Denied Cornell Deferred Michigan

How do you check

is there a way to check financial aid once you’re accepted or do I have to wait until they release the aids separately

I can’t believe some of the stats of people not getting in. You guys need to keep hope because you have amazing profiles and will end up at great schools. This was just an insane year apparently at Gtech. Good luck to you all and congrats to those of you that got in.

From the website: How many deferred students were ultimately accepted last year?

Each year varies. Approximately 26% of deferred students were ultimately accepted for the 2016 freshman class, while 16% of deferred students were ultimately accepted for the 2015 freshman class

Just outright rejected. I cannot believe it…
