<p>Subjective:
Essay: Rushed, so not extremely well-written, but amazing content...or so I thought. (Lived in Ecuador for a year, really touched by the native/poor people and wanted to help, started a business this fall in the States selling Ecuadorian crafts at school, all profits benefit schools from the town the crafts came from.)
Teacher Recs: Great
Counselor Rec: Pretty good, but not too personal. My principal wrote a letter as well, partially about the Ecuador Exchange (My business I mentioned above.)
Hook: Started the Ecuador Exchange </p>
<p>Location/Person:
State or Country: NJ
School Type: Competitive public school
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Female</p>
<p>Other Factors:
Extracurriculars: 3 years Debate, 4 years science league, lots of community service at church. </p>
<p>Why I think I was accepted/deferred: I'm a white female from NJ, and my test scores aren't amazing enough to make me stand out. </p>
<p>Other thoughts:
-I need to send my Bio score, which is probably a 720-30 and my Spanish score which is probably an 800 or close. So that might help a bit.<br>
-I got an Edward J. Bloustein award/scholarship to schools in NJ...I don't know if BC would care. It's given to all the top 20 students in the class, so I'm not sure how important that is.
-I also plan to send a brief (5 sentence max) paragraph telling about the success of my business...I don't think there's anything else I could send though. </p>
<p>Well...I'm really disappointed. BUT there's always regular decision, so I guess it's back to waiting.</p>

<p>can everyone just calm down for a second i have a couple questions that need to be answered...i am a legacy who got deffered and is very unhappy at the moment....first of all, how does a defferal affect your future canidacy?? Negative Positive or Equal?? second, how many of the deffered canidates get in RD?? and can people get rejected from EA?? if so how many vs how many get accepted vs how many deffered (percentage wise)</p>

<p>man, i got to do so much stuff now that i am deffered, it would have been sooooo much easier if i was accepted....and idk if those are legit numbers on the 51th post, ive heard much differently...like 20 percent EA acceptances and like 50 defferal</p>
<p>qrd567--I just wanted to ask you...where did you get those stats? (the 33, 33, 33 ones; I heard about the 20% of deferrals accepted) I know you said a post but I was wondering if there was another source you knew of. Thanks!</p>
