New three for me:

Accepted: My counselor and teachers wrote great recs (or so they tell me), I wrote a fine set of essays, and I’ve got a 4.0 and pretty good SAT IIs (760, 770, 770) to balance out my so-so SAT I (710M/750V/630W)

Defer: Nothing special in my EC’s, I’m too much of a “Hmm, I’ll like this - I’ll join. Eh, I’m sick of it. I quit.” when it comes to clubs.

Reject: Stanford’s already got 2 guys from my school (athletics), and I’m the only one applying there…I just don’t see Prep going 3/3 at Stanford.
