<p>I was wondering what additional stuff you're sending. More essays? Supplement recommendations? Awards? How do you plan to change your status from being deferred to being accepted?</p>
<p>i dunno....i've honestly given up. The dream was fun while it lasted, but I've since moven on to greener pastures :sad:</p>
<p>that's so sad, slic :(...but i do agree</p>
<p><em>agrees</em> TT</p>
<p>I've sent in a letter explaining why my academic records are the way they are, my ambitions etc...basically clearing things up.
I also sent in my 2005 Matric Results, another essay I wrote for another school.</p>
<p>...they've taken the ones they really want (880 / 2000 acceptances). the rest of the 3000+ of us are essentially out of the running. i doubt they accept more than 120 more early applicants. </p>
<p>makes me wish i applied to a school that actually gives rejections. then if i were deferred i could at least think i wasn't outright rejected. at harvard, like 3% of earlys got rejected. doesn't tell us anything about where we stand :(</p>
<p>2 of the rickoids are semifinalists for INTEL, so hopefully they can advance to finalist and send H the news.</p>
<p>i'm doing regionals for jshs right now.</p>
<p>I sent a letter explaining why I'd be a good fit for Harvard, two essays, one extra rec, an updated list of ECs and thankfully enough, great mid term grades. Having said that, I've kind of given up on Harvard. Lets face it, the main reason why I appplied EA was because of the two Ps- prestige ( I know, pathetic reason) and pressure ( yeah, equally pathetic) Oh yeah, also it was EA and I didnt want o get myself into any kind of binding agreement which is why I didnt apply early to Princeton. But theres also the fact that, I rushed over the H app and didnt put half as much time and effort into my other apps. So I think I owed it to myself to put in some kind of supplemental effort after I got deferred. Not that its a particularly happy feeling being just one out of the 75% that were deferred. And I've pretty much got used to the fact that I'll be rejected in the RD round so its not going to hurt much.</p>
<p>i'm thinking of sending a letter...and maybe an extra essay</p>
