There are just so many people with great stats and so few spots. Don’t worry @writergirl0316 this time next year you will be at college having a great time. I was deferred as well, I’m surprised I wasn’t outright rejected, in a panic near the midnight deadline the CA went down and I hastily pasted my essay and cut out like 6 very important worlds! And my SAT/SAT2 scores are low even though I’m ranked 2 in my class. But I sent them anyway bc honesty is always best policy for me. I have an unusual talent so maybe that’s why they are keeping me around…who knows, it’s totally a blackbox
