<p>Notes:
I was deferred from Columbia ED, but more profile is MUCH stronger thanks to the December and January test sessions. I sent Columbia a new essay, a deferral response letter, and an update. Many of my EC’s are new, and were reported to these schools in a written update. My midyear reports are as good as possible.</p>

<p>Here’s an opinion. I think you should stop worrying. Honestly, I don’t see what purpose it would serve by letting you know what we think. Decisions come in two weeks. Just wait it out.</p>

<p>DEF890- The kids on college confidential are one of the few resources that I can tap to give me an idea of what to expect on the 29th. With this rough idea, hopefully my expectations will become more realistic. </p>
