[</em>]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?:[/ul] Well, I was expecting rejected or deferred, so I am pretty OK. I think graduating early probably had some effect (less APs, lower class rank), but lack of math and science awards probably hurt the most. I have a few more things to send in by Feb. 1st, so hopefully those will help! Anyway, congrats to accepted, and good luck to my fellow deferrees!</p>
