<p>I don’t see any problems with your stats. All the schools you listed should be very happy to have someone with your ECs!</p>

3

<p>SAT is a little on the lower end, but everything else looks great!</p>

<p>In at everywhere, except Brown, which I think is a crapshoot for anybody. I would say you have good chances anywhere you apply!</p>

<p>Forgot to mention I was deferred ED, Cals Cornell. What are my chances of getting in after deferral?</p>

<p>Wow ^ really, deferred from Cornell? I’m pretty surprised!</p>

<p>I think your extracurriculars are excellent, obvious you on in the top of your class, I don’t see why they rejected you!</p>

<p>Saying this, I say getting in after deferral looks bright…</p>

<p>People with stats much better than mine, SAT 800 M, 770 CR, etc., and amazing ec’s were flat out rejected from Cornell this year. It was a utter carnage!</p>
