I have very similar stats as well. My GPA is the same, my class rank is 22/870 and my ACT scores are:
Composite: 33
Math: 36
Science: 35
Reading: 30
English: 31

And I also have a job which takes up 15-20 hours per week, along with 250 hours of community service (4 per week).

My course load is very rigorous too (Took 8 AP classes, along with all other possible honors academic classes), so I am not sure why I got deferred from Computer Engineering. Does anyone have any “chances” of me being accepted? It’s my top school and it hurt to see the deferment.

I’m starting to think that it was my poor essay (I even found a grammar mistake or two). Would that possibly sway my chances by much? I really wish I could go back in time and spend much more time on the essay.
