<p>I just looked at the 09 EA thread and added up all the people who were accepted and deferred. </p>
<p>There were 23 accepted and 18 deferred.</p>
<p>So thats 56% acceptence and 44% deferrence for CC.</p>
<p>Granted this is very biased and my ap stats teacher would not approve... but...... we need some hope!</p>
<p>hello 44% i'm cujoe169</p>

<p>Don't be so pessimistic! There could be a fat envelope in the mail with your name on it!</p>
<p>have you seen my stats? or my essay? or the fact that i didn't do either of the optional ones because i'm an idiot? :(</p>
<p>No, but I didn't answer the optional questions either and you don't see me freaking out. Chillax.</p>
<p>It won't be a very fat envelope ;-), just a larger one. </p>
<p>cujoe169:
You don't HAVE TO submit the optional essays. Anyway, you're stats can't be worse than mine (mine are record low!). What's your essay like?</p>
<p>Actually, I was rethinking Ben's comparison of the application to a table: it can stand with three legs. I guess though it can stand, when the pressure increases it will surely fall :-(. With the decrease in admissions rate, every last score can make a difference. Seems like I'm in the same situation as you're in. I have excellent (well above average) extracurriculars, but really bad SAT I scores. Good luck to all of us!</p>
<p>huh? oh my essay was 900 words, cut to 500 words, so you can imagine what it reads like, a bit abrupt... hamster, i'm just a bit more paranoid than usual :( also, my ec's really don't show any clear direction, but i have leadership in almost all of them</p>
<p><em>freaks out</em></p>
<p>yeah, I am really nervous. : </p>
