<p>I doubt you’ll get rejected EA, but none of us could really tell you whether you’ll be accepted or not at this stage in the game.</p>

3

<p>alright, thanks a lot.</p>

4

<p>bump bump bump
please give me your opinions/input :)</p>

5

<p>I concur w/ ducktape</p>

6

<p>ok thanks!</p>

7

<p>Statistically speaking, the most likely outcome is that you’ll be deferred. You’re strong enough that it’s fairly unlikely that you’ll be rejected outright at this stage.</p>

8

<p>ok thanks a lot for your input, that’s what im thinking too</p>

9

<p>bump bump bump</p>

10

<p>please let me know what you think!</p>

11

<p>anyone have any other opinions?</p>

12

<p>Several people already told you the obvious. What else do you want?</p>

13

<p>No NHS hammi?</p>

14

<p>Your credentials are great, but everyone who applies is a big fish going into a small pond with many other fish just as big. Look at the distribution stats, your best chance is 1 in 5 with superior scores across the standardized tests. Your worst, with your stats, is around 1 in 10.</p>

15

<p>oh i forgot to include NHS, sorry :(<br>
yes, NHS for the 2 years we’re allowed to join, no officer positions though</p>

<p>jessiehl all i want are other points of view & opinions if people have them..</p>

<p>polarisking thanks for your input :)</p>

16

<p>NHS is useless honestly-you obviously have better stuff than that</p>

17

<p>true, because i didn’t really have any leadership positions or anything like that.. that’s probably why i forgot to include it lol</p>

18

<p>I’ll predict that you will be accepted EA. (First prediction ever, so I have no “batting average,” though)</p>

19

<p>hahah aw ok thank you for the input</p>

<p>Hammi… :slight_smile:
… how did your interview go…that may have a bearing on how you might be rated socially (alongside the tone you may have taken on for your
essays)?</p>

<p>…Most discussions lead me to believe the selections are done on an
individual basis…curious if the applicants are sorted by State or region…
…that could make a big difference on chances…?..</p>
