<p>What I noted--average test score are up and average GPA is down from 2007. Seems odd but who knows.</p>

<p>I tried to access the link and it said it was damaged. I even went to the website and it said the same. How did you access it?</p>

<p>Still works for me. TRy again.</p>

<p>nope can't get it...just wondering what they said about postponement...</p>

<p>Did you try typing in the link? </p>

<p>A final decision is made on all postponed students by March 15th.</p>

<p>Senior year performance is the most significant factor in determining who gets admitted after being postponed.</p>

<p>Historically, one-half of the postponed group has been admitted.</p>

<p>Remain focused on your studies, but also apply to other universities.</p>

<p>thanks for summing it up. I did try typing it in and that did not work either. I even tried it from the WI website. Same problem. You summed up the portion I needed. Thanks.</p>

<p>Postponed applicants need to get good senior grades...I just don't know how good is good? As good as you had junior year? Or better? Even if you have more AP classes? How do they compare kids who are taking 3 AP classes with kids who are taking one or none? The grades will be different? Some schools just don't give out A's in AP classes...mine does not give them out very easily!</p>
