<p>I don’t know how to the thing above so I’ll just post my stats:
Decision: Accepted into the nursing program!

<p>I don’t know how to do the thing above either so I will post like the person above:
Decision: Deferred from the Bio Program
GPA: 3.24 UW
SAT: 430 CR; 490 Math; 510 WR
Took one AP Exam and got a 3 on U.S. History
Senior Year Courses:
-AP Bio
-AP Gov’t
-Honors English
-Marine Bio
-AP Physics
4 year varsity wrestler
In my deferral letter, UScranton said they wanted to know more about me and they would like to see my midyear grades/SAT. An interview was also recommended. I believe I was deferred because UScranton never got my SAT scores apparently. Although they are quite low, I somewhat fall into the school’s stats and I might have been accepted had they received my scores. On the other hand, I might have also been flat out rejected as well.</p>
