<p>Well, I was deferred EA, and I sent in some updates, a new resume, kept in light contact with my regional rep, but most importantly sent a 2 minute video on the top 10 reasons to accept me, specific to uchicago. I think it was super funny, and got a lot of compliments from friends and guidance counselors. It was also obvious that there was a lot of work put into it (effects and whatnot).</p>
<p>I have high stats, and I think I'm a kind of student that UChicago looks for (computer science, but leads in plays, and all-state choir/also a good writer and an 800 on reading for SAT...basically well-rounded for a tech major). I think I might not have gotten in due to a small lack in personality or creativity on my application. Do you think these updates/video will make up for it?</p>
