hey...ur sounding a little desperate...don't. ur gonna be fine. my stats are similar to urs, but my gpa is a bit lower...i got deferred ED...haven't heard yet for RD...don't worry about it....if there's one thing I've learned during this whole damn "college process" it's that u really shouldn't worry about it. The more u worry, the worse u feel. just let it happen...it's the only way u'll survive...the whole "happy, go lucky" mentality. Best of luck...

Hey Josie,

Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it. I will take that strategy into consideration hehe. College admissions can be frustrating, but we will live through it! :P
