[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[<em>] Strengths: I did have the GPA and all of the prerequisites completed.
[</em>] Weaknesses: Lacking ECs, two Bs I couldn’t replace from my first attempt at college.
[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Most likely the lack of ECs and the two Bs I was unable to replace. To be honest, I always considered it a reach so I wasn’t really expecting much, but it’s nice to at least know what the result was. I still got into San Diego, so I’m not terribly disappointed.[/li][/ul]</p>
