<p>Hi,
Ok, this may sound weird, but it's a long story. I really like UPenn and so I handed everything (except for Part 2 of the application), such as rec letters, school report, etc. to my teachers and everything, telling them I'd apply ED. WEll, I haven't exactly changed my mind, but I just wanna be able to see where else I'd be able to get into, just for kicks,.. if you know what I mean. Yeah, some of you prob. say I shouldn't apply ED if I weren't 150% set on Penn, but still... </p>

<p>SO... I sorta wanna get deffered and then later accepted (yeah I also know that's hard to do)</p>

<p>actually you might not want to be deferred, because it's just like getting rejected. Some people are deferred because they're applications aren't complete, so they get another review the second time. most people get deferred because they simply aren't good enough. besides, when regular admissions come around, the people always look at the deferred students last in case so there isn't much room yet anyway. i've heard that the deferred admission is something like 2-4%. it's just like getting rejected...</p>

<p>in terms of stats, i think you are good enough to be accepted. i'm sorry to hear that you'll be going to UPenn...lol</p>

4

<p>Yeah... but where do you think I should apply instead of UPenn... I guess it's never toooo late</p>

5

<p>You know, more often than not you have to tell posters they probably won't get in. Go figure, someone who probably will get in doesn't want to!!</p>

6

<p>no no... it's not that I don't wanna get in... but just that it's alluring to know what other colleges have to say to u.</p>
