<p>[ *] Essays: Thought it was written pretty well. I talked about my journey, both social and academic, towards achieving my dream of attending a prestigious college. Revised it several times.</p>

<p>[ *] Teacher Recommendation: One definitely great, the other was probably good too.
[ *] Counselor Rec: No idea, but I would assume it was well-written.

<p>[ *] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I felt that I was a very well-rounded applicant (and talked about that in my essay). The fact that I took the hardest classes offered at my school every year and did pretty well on my standardized tests, definitely helped me tremendously.</p>

Just wondering, do people get notification of receiving the Presidential Scholarship with their acceptance? Or does it come later? Really wondering about my slim chance of getting it!</p>
