[li] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: I honestly have no idea. I didn't think I was going to get in because Asian is way overrepresented.[/li][/ul] Other Factors: I was really worried because my test scores are low. Oh I got a likely letter too... that was also surprising. General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I will probably not be going because of financial issues. Since Cornell doesn't give merit aid and my EFC is really high, I don't think I'll get much, if any. I rec'd a full tuition scholarship to UMCP and will probably end up going there. Congrats to everyone who got in!</p>
