Reflection

Strengths: Really good GPA and finals scores all throughout high school, AP Scores, and rigor of courses
Weaknesses: Test scores
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: GPA was good, lots of volunteering and leadership positions, AP Scores
Got into the honors college with $28k freshman year and $14k the rest of the years

Also applied to Fordham and Georgetown EA and haven’t heard back from Georgetown and got into Fordham. Applying regular to Cornell, GW, NYU, BC, UPenn, Columbia

Seriously wishing I had applied ED now…

Does anyone have a stat on the deferred students that were accepted?

@stevew17 that’s too bad, you have great stats ( see below). No idea why they would defer you, makes no sense:


Deferred from MA (comp sci major)

Good amount of EC’s and volunteer work.
