<p>Hey guys,
I’m applying to Trinity RD (I was considering engineering but my scores seem way too low). I’d really love to know what you guys think. Obviously it’s too late to do much now, but I’d still like to know how admissions might view my application. I just got deferred from Penn so I’m quite depressed at the moment and my self-esteem is very near to 0. I had been planning on EDing to Duke for many months until my parents said they really didn’t want me going that far and advised me to apply somewhere closer, so I decided to apply to Penn – don’t think I’m not passionate about Duke.</p>
