<p>the teachers @ our school have an unwritten policy that they wont write the rec as well if we dont waive our rights to see the rec - so i never know good the recs were. but those teachers like me.</p>

<p>im starting the essays now but theyre real good so far.</p>

<p>just curious about my chances.&lt;/p>

<p>Why do you post here acting like you’re just curious? You know very well for yourself that you stand a very very good chance. A person with those scores cannot possibly not understand her own chances into different colleges.</p>

<p>…sounds to me like you’re just bragging…</p>

<p>ha, its just that i got deferred ED from columbia and right now i feel like i’m gonna get deferred/rejected from all the schools i like. didnt mean to sound like im bragging. columbia deferral was a blow.</p>

<p>Ok ok, that’s fine than. Well, to be candid about the entire situation, Columbia’s acceptance rate is very low compared to the other schools around its rank. Hence, you do not need to compare Columbia with Duke. You will most likely get in. Columbia is a crapshot. It’s like winning the lottery.</p>

<p>Wow… you were deferred from Columbia. That depresses me. Looks like you have a good chance for Duke, though.</p>

<p>my best friend just got deferred from columbia ED too. That school is pretty crazy, she had a 2310 SAT and all this awesome stuff. Who knows what they smoke when they make their decisions.</p>
