Accepted: Good grades (5/460). Good SAT scores (770v, 790m, 800w, 800 World History, 790 US History, 780 IIC, 780 Chem), most likely strong recs, leadership in various ECs, essays I feel are pretty strong. A few state-level awards and honors.

Deferred: Nothing I did was too special, such as starting a club to end world hunger on campus or win some crazy math/science/engineering competition.

Rejected: Asian-American. ECs are too academic in nature.
