[ /list][ b]Reflection[ /b][ list]
[ *] Strengths:SATs I suppose, perhaps also having an Abitur (pretty much guarantees a GPA of 4.0 if you aren’t an idiot.)
[ *] Weaknesses: Weak recs perhaps, no AP or IB, no awards, no school clubs (don’t exist here), vacations in the summer, started preparing senior year!
[ *] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: SAT’s and GPA probably. They emailed me because of my results, otherwise I wouldn’t have known about them!
[ /list][ b]General Comments:[ /b] Get good SAT’s if you want to get in, once they email you it’s pretty much in the bag (as far as I can tell). TAKE SCIENCE COURSES!!! Good luck to all!</p>
