<p>cool our stats are very similar...
i got a 2160 SAT, CR: 670 M: 740 W:750
with 3.7 uw gpa, but my rank is only like top 20% 101st/565 (VERY competitive high school)</p>

<p>i'm a national merit finalist with USC as my desgnated first choice school
4 years of varsity softball, 1st team all district every year, 3rd team all greater houston last year, and team mvp last year</p>

<p>along with some other crap extracurriculars
my essay was prety good, and my short answer/paragraphs were pretty good as well</p>

<p>do you think my chances are good? most people say national merit finalist makes it almost definite but i don't want to assume anything</p>

<p>I'm surprised you haven't been admitted in the 3rd wave already melmel!</p>

283

<p>I hope the fact that I haven't been in the first 3 waves isn't indicative of the strength of my application, but it's probably true. :(</p>

284

285

<p>melmel, your stats are better than mine, and you're a national merit finalist. i, on the other hand, was just commended haha i'm pretty sure you will get in. </p>

295

<p>it was postmarked on sunday.....uhhhh? are you sure? the post office is closed on sundays...</p>

<p>but i guess we do need to relax...my dad called the admissions offiice today and they mentioned that some acceptance letters would be trickling out before april
1st but that the majority would go out in april, they also said we wouldn't hear about any scholarships until way after we've gotten accepted.</p>
