<p>ACCEPTED after being deferred. Too much in shock to write anything else.</p>

<li>why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: I suppose it wasn't meant to be. There's others out there that are a lot smarter than I am. To be honest, I don't think I was really holding out that much hope for getting accepted, anyway.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sigh. I guess I'll be tweaking the waitlist appeal letter that I'm sending to Davidson and WM to send it to Duke, too...this waitlist stuff is getting REALLY old.</p>
<p>Rejected! I'm okay with it, I was expecting to get rejected and if I had been accepted, I probably wouldn't have gone. So if I had been accepted, I probably would have felt bad for taking the spot of someone who really wanted to go. Congrats to all you who got accepted, that's really a feat to be proud of!</p>
<p>Decision: I'm in....w00t! (Trinity)</p>

[</em>] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: Probably because I've done research, have good EC's and good stats, and that it made up for the lack of other "intangibles." That and our school always sends someone to Duke, so someone had to get in....
