Also in my essays and stuff I don’t brag about myself or try to make myself look better to the colleges. I think it helps that you recognize your weaknesses and point them out the the school and then explain to them how it makes you better or how you can turn them into strengths. That’s kind of the approach I went with in all my applications.

<p>why not just let the individual school acceptance threads exist for now and return to this after berkeley has been posted?</p>

<p>that way we avoid this Waiting for Decisions: thing, and save others from all the confusing duplicate posts–unless each poster is willing to EDIT instead of posting a new one each time they get a new admittance/rejection.</p>

<p>I guess we can wait till all decisions are released. Then bring this back to life…</p>

<p>bump it up! :D</p>
