(I think my SAT II’s may let me down.Do you?)
The subjects i’m taking this year are all APs and much harder than SATIIs.I didn’t really want to apply to USA earlier so wasn’t really prepared for SATs.</p>

<p>I’m applying!</p>

<p>Stats:
4.0 GPA/2340 SAT (800 M/780 CR/760 W)
SAT IIs: 800 Math 2 and 800 Physics</p>

<p>Intel ISEF, I’ve also done significant research work at the graduate level.</p>

<p>I honestly don’t have much besides academic stuff (and some clubs) on my application, so I’m essentially doomed.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the acceptance rate for RD is?
I got deferred from EA</p>

<p>Applying for RD, but I got into uchicago EA, so I’ll probably be attending there!</p>

<p>Submitted! Yay!</p>

<p>I got deferred SCEA, so now I’m in with RD. Good luck to all!</p>

<p>Also, please post stats on the Stats Profile. That’s what it’s for, plus that makes it easier for people to find than searching through numerous threads.</p>

<p>Applied Regular Action, and have an interview up on Sunday.</p>

<p>Kind of nervous. The guy specifically said to not dress up, and just wear regular school clothing (which is weird, I though Princeton as more of a preppy school). So now I have to figure out the line between casual and business casual. Should I do a polo shirt?</p>
