IT'S SO SURREAL.</p>
<p>I am very confused. Some people with very good scores got deferred or rejected, but turn around kids especially female got accepted with only above average scores. Good scores and grades might not get you in. That's scary! What's going on? There is no right or wrong direction. Whoever got accepted, please tell us what did you write about your $10 essay.</p>

and good luck to those still waiting to hear from the bme major</p>
<p>and now question:
how do i get the format thingy right for the zuma format thingy or whatever its called so that theres no brackets and stuff?</p>
<p>Kind of glad actually. Was starting to have second thoughts after visiting the campus and wanted to have a choice. Don't feel like being all formal and crap with stats..
Average asian, top10 (%), Craptacular Essays (They were really, really horrible), Almost no ECs (super lazy), Above average SATs (1350) and SAT IIs (750 2c, 770 bio). Only thing going for me was rigor of curriculum. Now that I think about it, I don't think I should've applied...</p>
