<p>Hey Patel, I received a 1670 combined SAT score and a 25 ACT score composite and I was accepted after being deferred from EA. I initially was not going to apply for RD because I would have to write four short-essays and I HATE essays! But my dad told me to go ahead and reapply, and to my surprise I got in. I didn’t write great essays either and it took me an hour to write the essays. I may have had low standardized test scores but I enrolled in the most rigorous schedule possible and my high school. I took 9 AP classes and all advanced classes. I was an officer in 5 out of the 7 clubs that I was in. But my GPA was 3.75 (94) with a class rank of about 60-ish out of 420 in my class. So that makes me about top 15%. Therefore, if you are top 6% then I would say you have a good chance of getting in. Just bring your scores up a little and you should be fine.</p>
