I was just accepted. The key is to have a really unique and interesting essay that A) conveys that you’re a good fit and B) showcases your positive traits. I have a 3.79 UW 4.42 W and 1410 SAT, Eagle Scout, a bazillion SSL hours and governor’s citation plus a whole thing about Kung fu and piano. Those are pretty vanilla/mainstream ECs so I like to think that my essay about cooking and scouting got me in. Cheers
