<p>deferred, i live in Queens NYC. for any1 that sent a Your Choice Application, did u guys send a letter of recommendation?? i didnt cause they didnt ask for one</p>
<p>My friend who lives in the same area with me did not get his letter yet. What is up with that? You would think because we live in the same area…</p>
<p>Concord: I would get the forms from the common application and ask two teachers and your guidance counselor to submit recommendations. You have to submit your grades for this semester anyway when you are in the RD pool. DONT DO NOTHING. Be proactive and go get em.</p>
<p>ppl who havnt recieved decisions yet, DONT WORRY, they get mailed out in batches, just be patient. i got defered, now i gotta wait till APRIL!!! BTW, wat happens with defered kids?? Are we put in a special pool and screened that way or do we just get put with all the other Regular Decision kids??</p>
