<p>I was so shocked to get matched. I read so many posts of people who did not get matched from previous years and they were 10X more accomplished than me. I cried in the bathroom when I found out. I guess it just goes to show that you don’t need to be a 5.0 three sport athlete and international musician to get matched. Congrats to all who matched!</p>

Both of them are good writers and I have faith they were good letters. My counselor knows me pretty well, and I think she did a good job on it, too.</p>
