Why you think you were deferred: Probably my middle of the road test scores…</p>
<p>Other:
Honestly, I’m about as happy as one who got deferred can be. I thought I was going to be on the lower end of the spectrum (3.8 GPA, 31 ACT – but a ridiculous amount of leadership etc.) so when I found out I was deferred, I was pretty happy (after a day of moping) that they were giving me three more months to prove to them how badly I wanted to go there. I sent them an email expressing why I would be a good fit, and why I think they are a good fit for me, and plan to send a card sometime in February.</p>
<p>Does it make sense to call and find out why I was deferred?</p>
<p>Besides Princeton, I applied to: Harvard (who I interviewed with on Friday), Dartmouth, Williams, Boston College, Tufts, Connecticut College, Union, and Western New England. What about you guys?</p>
