[</em>] SAT IIs:710 Math I, 680 Physics
[<em>] ACT:Took them but haven't received scores yet

[<em>] Essays:I thought it was good. I wrote about something I truly value and I guess it didn't catch their eye?
[</em>] Teacher Recs:One said was the second best they've ever wrote and I'm sure the other two were good.
[<em>] Counselor Rec:Probably good, we seem to get along pretty well.
[</em>] Hook (if any):
[<em>] Location/Person:
[</em>] State or Country:Upstate New York
[<em>] School Type:Medium sized public school- we don't have a lot of kids go to top schools. Send like 1 per year to the ivy league.
[</em>] Ethnicity:White
[<em>] Gender:Male
[</em>] Major strength/weakness:I don't really know. I guess I'll have to do some sole searching before I do other apps. I assume my weakness was my SAT's (which sucks because there isn't anything I can do)
[<em>] Why you think you were accepted/rejected/deferred:Mm I guess there were too many EA applicants with higher scores.
[</em>] Other Factors:Brother attended
[li] Going to attend?If I have the option, yes. BC was my top choice and I feel a little betrayed right now. Going to apply to UVA UNC and see what happens.[/ul]</p>[/li]
<p>Go Eagles</p>
<p>so i am a bit disgusted, a classmate with 6 points lower than me on their acts and none of the awards, grades, or extra cirriculars that i have got in over me.</p>
<p>and in response to clipse14, i know how you feel. being top of your class with tons of great extra cirriculars and then getting deferred. frustrating, eh</p>
<p>DECISION: REJECTED CAS</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<p>SAT:1500/2170</p>
<p>SAT IIs:740 Math I, 730 English Lit, 710 Physics</p>
<p>ACT:33</p>
<p>GPA:3.5 UW</p>
<p>Rank: Unranked
Other stats:</p>
<p>Subjective: Every course I've taken was Honors, except for the APs. My school literally doesn't offer non-honors courses.</p>
<p>Extra Curriculars: 3 years of Crew, 2 varsity, 1 state championship and SE
US regional championship; Piano and Clarinet, multiple clubs; 140 hours of community service</p>

<p>Gender:Male</p>
<p>major strength/weakness:Strength: Crew and test scores
why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered:Grades I suppose. I also feel like my school actually worked against me, because taking 7 APs at a school that offers 26 AP courses is much less impressive than taking 7 at a school that offered 10.</p>
<p>Other Factors:Bleh. It was my top choice. I'm very disappointed. I was hoping for at least a deferral.</p>
<p>going to attend? Apparently not, sadly.</p>

[</em>] Hook (if any): I thought maybe since I'm from the south... but I'm still Caucasian. Also, my art teacher who wrote one of my recs has a family member on the board of admission, but my art teacher is also super spacey and probably forgot what BC was altogether.
