<p>Reflection

  • Strengths: ECs
  • Weaknesses: Test Scores
  • Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:</p>

<p>My ECs aren’t really Math/Science. Instead, they are service industry oriented. I think admissions at Case figured that I’m applying ED somewhere, possibly business/hotel, and would not be interested in attending Case. Therefore, I didn’t get in. (If they did think this, it is smart of them. I applied EA simply because there is no supplement essay.)</p>

<p>Also, I think Case is a very score focused school. I have bad ACT scores due to the fact that english is not my native language. That’s fine. I’m accepted ED at Cornell University (hotel school, in case you have question on my low scores.) and got my official letter of acceptance today; so i just withdrew the application to Case, and now i’m all done with my college applications!!!</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYONE</p>
