I was accepted EA at Chicago but deferred at G’town. Question is: How do I figure out how to improve my shot at G’town now? I have re-read my essays and application and I think it was pretty good; I might have made a minor grammatical error in one sentence but no spelling errors in the essays, which I thought were good.

They took someone else from my school who was allstate in track. Perhaps her leadership roles were impressive? I had written a good deal about mine as well. And I won many academic awards and she did not win any. Our class rank and sats are pretty similar.

Ideas as to how to go about sending new info when I am not sure what was wrong with the old stuff?
