<p>44 sunsets to which school?</p>

<p>Defered…</p>

<p>just got deferred. Does anyone know the chances for someone who is deferred to get accepted in regular. For what it’s worth, they indicate grades as the main reason for deferring people, and my 1st semester grades are quite good in comparison to my past grades…</p>

<p>I really didn’t think they’d do it that way but honestly I remember Ms. Worsdall telling me that engineering applications have been rising sharply lately, especially for Biomedical (which I had on my application, as well as some of you I’m sure.) It’s a whole different game, so as painful as it would be to wait another day, I really won’t be surprised</p>

<p>congrats 44sunsets and picklebump! you guys both deserve it!</p>

<p>awolf/// let me help.
Well, first off, northwestern has a crappy midwest weather, which I know because I lived there, which is snowing starting from october to april. ‘Beach’ isn’t that nice too. It’s top college that many people don’t know. Pretty bad at football. Usually. Far away from Chicago, very midwest full of white people, evanston and northwestern fights all the time, wildcat? that is kind of bad mascot hahaha it is college where ivy rejects flock, not first choice for them…</p>

<p>Did students who applied to McCormick get their decision?</p>

<p>Seriously, did anyone apply for McCormick get an e-mail?!!!</p>

<p>44Sunsets, CONGRATULATIONS!</p>

<p>Mybest, deferment isn’t that bad; you still have the same, if not higher, chance than those who are applying RD. Ari, same as that, plus, I think that chances might be a bit higher, but not much. Still, to not be rejected means you have a good shot at it!</p>

<p>i applied to mccormick and i haven’t gotten anything… if we have to wait until tomorrow i don’t know what i’m going to do.</p>

<p>still waiting on WCAS :/</p>

<p>i got in and i applied to McCormick.</p>

<p>kdy, that review is hilarious. I bet that was a NU reject, who was bitter afterwards. Far away? Terrible beach? How about terrible grammar :stuck_out_tongue: haha. Congrats to picklebump, too, since I seem to have missed you being accepted.</p>

<p>Either we’re last on the list or we’re some arbitrary time tomorrow. You all just have to remember that in a year or two you will all be happy wherever you end up.</p>

<p>Ooh now I don’t feel very positive. When did your email come?</p>

<p>I’m WCAS and I still haven’t gotten an email… Anyone else? </p>

<p>I have a feeling they’re not doing this school by school or in any particular order.
What makes me nervous is that it’s already 6:20PM over there.</p>
