<p>just because we haven't received decisions yet does not mean a particular decision has been made, right? and please don't say: just wait until it comes because.yea.</p>
<p>iono because i saw that last year they came randomly across the country and people received different decisions. </p>
<p>the only reason i ask is because my friend in socal received his decision..and i'm in houston and no on in texas seems to have found out.</p>
<p>It just means it has not come yet.</p>
<p>sorry for the random thread, andy. i'm just...paranoid and desperate and wanting to find out.</p>
<p>I was freaking out too, but it seems like most of the Northeast hasn't heard yet either. They must have sent them out late on Thursday.</p>
<p>and does it seem that this year..they're going basically on class rank/gpa than on other categories? because newarker123's rejection makes no sense and everyone else seems to have insane ranks and UWs. that makes me slightly scared because i'm a standardized test whore destroyer..yea.</p>
<p>I think it is essays more than anything. Because frankly I really am not in the same category as most of the people here, top 11%, and 32 ACT with a 28 on the writing, but my essay was different and very well written.</p>
<p>I ended up getting deferred, but it still means I have a shot.</p>
<p>i agree on the still having a shot, but do you think the essay bumped up your scores? as opposed to the other stuff bring you down.</p>
<p>and do you think SATs and Aps can bring up GPA in terms of admission</p>
<p>From what I heard when I visited, is as long as you are within a certain range for your test scores, you can get in. Which I took as meaning there isn't much difference in their eyes between someone with a 32 and someone with a 34. So the basis of your evalution comes from essay, rec, and accomplishments. They spend alot of time compliling their questions, so they put alot of emphasis on them.</p>
<p>what was newarker's stats that his/her rejection made no sense?</p>
<p>i thought newarker was deferred</p>
<p>I don't think GPA/Class rank matter very much. I have a 3.6/top 25% (Our class has over a dozen people tied for valedictorian right now) and a 27 act. I got in, which I guess is testament to how far a good essay can get you.</p>
<p>sorry, i meant deferral, not rejection. blame it on the anxiety.</p>
