Decision: Waitlisted
ACT and SAT didn’t take tests.
GPA: 3.8 Weighted I forget but over 4.3
Activities: None… I’ve been sick for the last 4 years. I explained this. 6 APS and like 9 honors.
Essay probably was the one that helped… I kick butt with essays.
Have to think about accepting waitlist… AU is expensive and I still have medical expenses my parents have to pay.
Good luck everyone. I will say this whole process is fun
