<p>REFLECTION

  • Strengths: extracurriculars/leadership, well rounded, good writer, ACT composite, hella APs, rank
    -Weaknesses: SAT, SAT/ACT math, no hooks
  • Why you think you were accepted: idk, I put so much effort into making my app really reflect who I am and why I think I fit there. Honestly, I can see myself at GU more than any other school (still applying to HYPCB though lol). My essays were cute and witty. I also attached a real detailed resume. BUT HONESTLY, IT WAS PROB THE HEADSHOT lmao.
