Reflection

Strengths:
What you tried to focus on in your application - any hooks you tried to make for yourself: How perfect the school is for me.
Weaknesses: Grades, SAT
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: Not too sure. I really made it clear that I was a good fit for the school.
Where else were you accepted/deferred/rejected: MSU, ASU, UNLV
Your “Big Red” factor - the most unique thing in your application: I wrote about how I was passionate about food and politics and how my wanting to own a restaurant tied in both.

Nice! Anymore?
