| I was deferred! I don't feel like posting my stats, but yeah. Haha. Much better than a flat out "NO", I can tell you guys that much  .
Congrats to all of those who received acceptances! And to those on my boat: blast a happy playlist, dance around, and think about what you're going to do to receive a big, beautiful "YES!" in April. All's not lost! (I'm an optimist, what can I say.)
But I figure it was my SAT scores. Everything else was great, and I only took my SATs once, they were good but not up to par, soo I'm registering for the Jan. testing now .

| good idea! my SATs weren't that brilliant either. I feel sort of relieved in an odd way though. At least I don't feel like throwing up everytime I think about getting rejected. | |
