[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[] Strengths: My awards & extracurriculars were pretty strong, and showed extreme depth in two separate fields. I think this helped show that I was more than ready to handle rigorous computer science, but also had another strong interest I’d bring to the table. Solid test scores. I’m a strong writer so I think my essays must have been decent.
[] Weaknesses: Odd schooling background that’s nonstandard for the UCs
[] Schools were you accepted/waitlisted to? this was my first acceptance
[] Schools you were rejected from? none yet
[li] Schools you are waiting for? everywhere I applied[/li]
