<p>My son is very upset to have been deferred to ILR. His sister is a sophomore in Engineering. He is a high honor student (93 average) with many AP classes (AP Scholar with distinction.) but not the greatest math SAT scores. SATII math 640. 700 writing 650 R Does anyone know the chances of acceptance in the regular pool? He thinks they defer and not reject in ILR. Is that true?? Many extra-curricular including Boys State, Newspaper Sports Editor, Concert and Jazz Bands and a lot of community service. AP US and Spanish awards. Sorry I didn’t post on stats thread.</p>

<p>My son was also deferred to ILR. He still wants this as his first choice, but his stats were CR 680 Math 650 and writing 710…he only took the SAT once because he was too busy with extracurriculars! Strong speaking/writing skills. Would also like to know likelihood of admission (I realize there is no way to know because it depends on the RD applicant pool), because I would like to encourage him to look at the alternative choices.</p>

Strengths: GPA; EC’s; connection to the Human Ecology mission; subject test scores may have made up for my awful act…
Weaknesses: my disgraceful act
Where else were you accepted/rejected/waitlisted: who knows…I guess I don’t have to wait to find out :slight_smile:
Do you like the cold? I lived in MN for six months. I don’t think it can get any colder than that. Plus, I live in the mountains. So YES it does snow in California.
General Comments: I can’t believe I got in. I thought I would be lucky to be deferred. I guess this shows that its not as much of a number game as everyone thinks it is…</p>
