[<em>] Teacher Recs: I know one was EXCELLENT my teacher read it to me, about how I was the best student hes ever had in his career. The other two were also very good, but not as outstanding as the others. They also all marked me as top few in career with one top 5% of the year that I know of from one teacher.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: I dont know but Id assume it was pretty good, since I have a pretty close relationship with my counselor as far as relationships go at my school, where counselors dont know some students names Ive gone to talk to him a lot about academic things over the past four years.

[ul][li] Why do you think you got deferred/admitted: I think my math SAT I score hurt me, but I thought by bringing my SAT IIc up to 780 it showed that my math skills greatly improved in the past few months (as I went into Calculus). Also 2 other girls from my school applied ED, both which were very qualified - one is both a legacy and (I think) a recruited rower... I didn't think applicants from schools were compared to each other for "slots" but who knows...[/ul]</p>[/li]
<p>I'm really disappointed guys... But congrats for those of you that made it (PHIL!!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! :D :D :D and shrek of course) and best of luck to those of you still waiting for your envelope...</p>

That's exactly like me. It's sad graci, but thats how it is.... they probably look for tangible evidence... :( But good luck for april decisions...</p>
<p>I'm so sorry, kat1......I was really pulling for you, too. What's happening to all of the CC girls?! I didn't get my letter today, which means I might have been deferred, too....<em>trails off</em></p>
<p>You too, mercury. And gian - thanks for the encouragement + best of luck.</p>
<p>I really like Dartmouth, but right now... I feel like a whole future has been closed. Holding out for RD right now.... Hoping the other two girls from my school don't both get in and rub it in my face horribly; I mean... I do hope the best for them but right now I can't really take it. <em>stabs self overdramatically</em></p>

Many leadership positions for school activities. A lot of community service. I think I got deferred because everyone else has what I described above.</p>
<p>Hope that displays OK. I'm pretty disappointed, but I was preparing myself for this, so it's not a huge shock. I had no regrets whatsoever. I couldn't have done anything better. I presented myself to Princeton to the best of my ability and I was deferred. My hugest lament now is that I have to do 7 more apps now.</p>
<p>Siiigh. I'll be migrating to the Columbia board now probably (maybe Yale). Perhaps I'll see my fellow deferrees there. I shall bid good luck to all those who were accepted and those who weren't. </p>
