<p>woops i meant priority.</p>

<p>I would be shocked if you didn’t get in, and if you met the priority deadline, you might be looking at a small bit of merit money.</p>

<p>3.02 GPA? I guess you explained lower grades on the question that asked for explanations for grades under B. I know someone who didn’t get the acceptances she expected because her GPA was low as compared to her test scores (was she smart, but lazy?). </p>

<p>Just saying this because you never know.</p>

<p>Your scores and everything else looks great! Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait till close to the end of March to find out… brutal!</p>

<p>Good point about the GPA LINYMom. I just assumed that the weighted might be a lot higher – I know that Delaware does weight AP classes. That GPA might be a problem.</p>

7

<p>I hate the wait.I’m accepted to Penn State, Vermont and Northeastern.Deferred by UICU UD is up there with Maryland as my top choices.At least we’ll know from U Maryland in a couple of weeks!</p>

<p>GPA seems a little low in combination with your test scores. How did you fare with your class rank? If it’s a “pretty good high school” as you described, you should be in the top 10% if the courses were tough.</p>
