<p>Deferred as an EA applicant with a 3.6 weighted GPA and 2150 SAT combined. Good references. Eagle scout. Grades have been all over the map; good freshman year, poor sophomore year (lots of stuff happening), better junior year, about a 4.0 weighted. </p>
<p>Had a poor first semester senior year. Poorer than sophomore year. Who knows why but there it is. </p>
<p>Applying EA was a mistake as I could have applied ED elsewhere and avoided the disasterous effects of first semester.</p>
<p>What can be done if anything to enhance the chance of admission in the RD pool I start this knowing that the odds are not good for deferred EA candidates.</p>
