<p>I just need an honest chance!
I was deferred EA. I know my chances are not high at all, but I just want an idea.</p>

<p>Deferred EA
OOS
3.5 GPA
1820 SAT</p>

<p>My ECs are what make me stand out. I'm currently the president of a 7,000 member state wide club. I show tons of extra circulars which I hope will add to my application.</p>

<p>I've also sent mich a letter saying how bad I wanted to go, along with one of the three research papers i have written which have been recognized and awarded on the international level. </p>

<p>Chances? Thanks!</p>

<p>If they were especially impressed with the EC they would have admitted you, so I guess they aren’t. The GPA is too low, so I don’t think you’ll get in.</p>

<p>@vladenschlutte that is a good point.</p>

<p>Also, I’d like to say that my GPA for my 7th semester is a 4.1 (W), which is a tremendous increase. (The 3.5 GPA I listed above is UW).</p>

<p>I agree. Both test score and GPA are too low.</p>

<p>But he/she wasn’t rejected.</p>

<p>What is your research paper about and what do you mean by “international awards”? What kind of club are you Prez for and did you create the club?</p>

<p>Any other hooks? Minority? First gen? Anything else?</p>

<p>It is a high school business club. And my research paper was in a competition in which it placed Top-20 Internationally.</p>

<p>If the paper was something of professional work, aka published in a professional journal where actual people of the profession read (Ex: Researchers reading Nature in science), then it would mean a whole hell of a lot, but if it’s just some competition, in my opinion it doesn’t carry nearly as much weight because it’s just a competition. You aren’t publishing anything groundbreaking. Your EC is still awesome though, but your gpa is dragging you down</p>

<p>Chances are poor but likely at a 3.5 and your SAT, the school may not be a good fit for you. What other schools are you interested in?</p>
