“I actually applied early action and was deferred, andJun 06 2012Psychology
I actually applied early action and was deferred, and was put in the regular admittance pile to be considered. For me, I had the grades and activities to get in, I just needed to show them me. I sent an e-mail to someone at the college introducing myself and telling them what happened, why I love the school, and why if accepted I would definitely be coming. I received my acceptance letter a few days later. My advice is be passionate and go for what you want in life, for me it helped me get into Marist.
