I saw several suggestions to those who were deferred from EA to Regular Decision saying to ask their AO for feedback on how to improve their application. My DD e-mailed her AO and was told what we already knew...she can resubmit any improvements in transcript, PFE, test scores, resume. Did anyone else receive more valuable feedback that was more specific to their own applicant or is that even possible?
 
You do not want to send too much more to the admissions committee. You looking for the biggest bang for the buck which is probably better ACT/SAT scores, 7th semester transcripts, a varsity letter and/or all-area/league/state selection, or the election as a club officer. A significant increase in the SAT/ACT score would probably draw the most favorable attention.
 
100% agreed ACT/SAT at this point in the game holds the most weight. Yet probably too late to get done before application closes next test date if 8 Feb. I always tell my candidates to take the test early and often. Hire a tutor if possible.

No. He said it was all in the letter. So, put in new test scores and re taking pfe Friday.
