<p>my essays and my recs are pretty good.....</p>

<p>I was actually surprised to even get deferred from UVa, from the way the people talk about the chances on this site for an out-of-stater, I figured I would get rejected. Does anyone think I have an actual chance, and does anyone know how many people usually get deferred ED at UVa and how many people get rejected?</p>

<p>Also does anyone think I should apply to anymore schools? I don't really want to go to any other schools other than these four, but should I have a problem getting in at least one of them? And does anyone know what my chances are at the honors program at UDel?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for taking the time out to read this!

<p>i don't want to sound anxious, but could someone please reply and tell me at least if i should apply to a few more schools, cuz I don't want to waste my parents' money on more college applications if I don't need them.</p>

<p>.........................</p>

4

<p>Your in at Tech, unless you're engineering, in which you're still probably in</p>

5

<p>yea, ur in tech and jmu.... i got deferred from uva also. i'm instate... ur sat is kinda low for out of stateer... only ur ec's good</p>

6

<p>WOW..im really surprised you didn't get into UVA early..I'm a junior at UVA now and my dad's on the admissions board. I really think you'll get in this spring, but you should give me your name and I'll tell my dad to help you out.</p>

7

<p>sns341.... i sent u a pm... could u reply to that? or email me at <a href="mailto:crichessill@yahoo.com">crichessill@yahoo.com</a>
if u didnt get that.. i would like to talk to u</p>

8

<p>any more advice? would anyone say its safe to say ill get in at least one of these 4?</p>

9

<p>hey a lot of school deadlines are 2moro? Can someone please tell me if i need to apply to one more school, or if i am safe with these 4....I haven't received any acceptance letters yet and i'm just getting paranoid, so could someone give me some advide?</p>

<p>what are my chances at U of Delawarem JMU, UVA, and VT?</p>

10

<p>you should be in at at least one of them</p>

11

<p>anyone else...im down to a matter of hours</p>

12

<p>Why don't you apply to Rutgers or TCNJ where you could pay an in-state tuition? I think you could get into those.</p>

13

<p>i thought about applying to those...but my brother went to rutgers and when i went down there i didn't really like the area, and i don't really like tcnj either...i kinda wish i just applied to them as just-in-case schools, but i really want to get out of nj, so i figured it might just be a waste of money...</p>

<p>by the way, i got a thing in the mail friday from va tech. and i was nominated by the admissions committee for the honors program, but it says in the letter that they have no idea whether i will be accepted or not? ...anyone's take on this?</p>

14

<p>If you've been nominated for the honors program, you will be accepted. They are just trying to cover their rears in case there is a mixup. I don't think that you need to apply to any more schools. You will probably get into all 4, definitely into 3.</p>

15

<p>i hopee soo, thanks for responding</p>

16

<p>did anyone else who applied to va tech get nominated for the honors thing?</p>

<p>how hard should it be to get it, and what scholarship money comes with it?</p>

17

<p>uh.. did u apply for it? or did they send u one automatically. i dont think i qualify, but i would like it if i was eligible... for va tech honors</p>

18

<p>No i didnt apply for it, it just came in the mail on friday....you gotta fill out a yellow form by hand, make a curriculum vitae, and write an essay about your past, present and future without using the pronoun "I"....its like applying all over again</p>

19

<p>i guess i didnt qualify. whcih school are u applying at UVA?</p>
