Was diversity a big factor in decisions this year?

Well put hazelle. I got deferred with what I think was a stellar application, but I’m not going to sit here and whine about people with “lesser” stats (and there are people with them that got accepted at my school with lower GPA and test scores). Instead, 1) I realize they’re looking for a well-rounded class and 2) there are deficiencies in my profile that I can work hard to change in the next month.

Don’t blame admissions. Don’t blame the process. Blame yourself if you didn’t give your best effort. If you did, there’s no reason to be ashamed of deferral. If you did, keep working for the next month to make that deferral an acceptance.
