<p>These are definitely some of the strongest stats on this board - as i was reading through the list and mentally gauging everyone's chances, I became rather conflicted - having to look into so many factors and see where some are stronger in one field and others in another and yet still trying to somehow quantify each person's chances for comparison's sake. In doing this, I became aware of truly how limited my perspective of the quality of the actual applicant pool is as a whole. With that said, I claim guilty to my predictions being slightly skewed/inaccurate because of I am inevitably, subconsciously simply pitting the 15 ppl on the list against each other, only semi taking into account the actual pool might be less strong. (I honestly dont believe anyone on this list will be rejected, the deferred ones will simply be selected because they were less strong than the rest.)</p>
<p>In short (in case u didnt understand my longwinded explanation) - I am being harsher than the adcom.</p>
<p>Decision (1-5 chance of possibly being deferred) 1- least likely 5- most likely - even if i put u down as accepted, i still gave u a range, to account for the sheer unpredictableness of the admissions system.</p>
<ol>
<li>deferred (3-4) - read essay (aglet si?)</li>
<li>accepted (1-2) - read essay</li>

<li>AngelNikki1- 1510 (750M, 760V) SAT II-750US/760Wr/620Spanish ... Decent ECs: President of a service organization, write for a newspaper (circulation 70,000, sent a sample article), NHS, SHH, Dance, 200 or so hours of volunteer work, held down a job for 2 years. I think my recommendations are good, rank 27/540 in my class, 4.0 GPA, my essay may have been risky but I loved it...I think the only thing I might be lacking on is leadership.
