Reflection
Strengths: GPA and essay
Weaknesses: SAT kinda, extra curriculars plus they do not usually accept people from my school (3 accepted out of 35 in the past 10 years according to naviance)
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: I knew I didnt have a strong chance of getting accepted but I was happy with my deferral. I haven’t done many extracurriculars since dance has been a big time consumer in my life (5 days a week since freshman year)
Where else were you accepted/deferred/rejected: A university up in Canada (Saint francis xavier university) and was accepted. I have only applied to northeastern and there.
Your “Big Red” factor - the most unique thing in your application: My essay was very strong and most high school students do not get the extensive classes about environmental technology that I do (we have 5 days of academics and 5 days of technical education and in those 5 days my classes are all about environmental sustainability and wetland health and marine biology and I am HAZMAT certified (OSHA40)
