Although I STILL haven’t gotten a decision from PC (lost in the mail?), I believe I am currently in the same boat. I tried to join the FB group where you have to be approved, but my request was never answered. I’m getting a PDF copy tomorrow, but it’s either a waitlist or a rejection. My stats are very similar:
Originally deferred
3.5 GPA (started with a 3.3 and ended with a 4.0 on my midyear. I took my most challenging course load this year, with 2 dual enrollment courses (calc & comp) and 2 honors (Italian 5 & International Business & Politics)
1810 SAT (630 M, 620 W and 560 CR)
First Generation student
Not such great ECs other than community service and a few clubs, but I worked 4 jobs throughout high school
Visited, took tours and also was a Friar for the day
Emailed my rep stating that PC was my number one
Wrote a handwritten letter when I was deferred stating my interest

I’m truly devastated that I wasn’t accepted. If I do receive a wait list position, I will accept it, but I just feel hopeless at this point. I worked SO hard this year for my mid year report and expressed how passionate I was about PC in my letter. Sorry for the long rant, but basically, you are not alone in this frustrating process! Hang in there, and if we both get off the wait list and you need a roommate, let me know!
