rejected from all EA schools
so far, ive been rejected from my ED, UNC, UVA, and UMD (in-state). got deferred by UMich but they defer everyone. i do have a lower GPA (3.8) but i have a very high SAT score and great ECs. my personal statement was a little iffy for my EA schools, but i changed it for my RD schools. i applied to very competitive schools RD and only one safety that i was already accepted to, so i guess my question is should i just give up hope for RD bc of my horrible EA decisions? im thinking there must be some terrible red flag about my application that i am unaware of :((
