ECs on application: Volleyball captain past three years, knitting teacher for inner-city kids, lessons learned from this on a blog, Counselor in training at a summer camp for foster kids for the past two years, National Honor Society, writing intensive over summer at Vanderbilt, Church Choir then Praise team, HOSA competitor (fourth place in regional competition), VP of computer science club, sell knitting and crochet patterns online, babysit

As to what they’re looking for in the application process, I can’t answer that. They might not have liked my supplements; I talked about Gone With the Wind a lot (Top 10 Most Repetitive Life Lessons from the book). Maybe they didn’t like my essay; I don’t know. I mentioned how I was an introvert and tended to lean conservative politically during my interview, so I’m not sure. Florida is the second state with the most applicants, so it’s pretty competitive. I’m not too upset though. Just rolling with life.
Congrats to those who got in!
Has anyone from Long Island heard yet? I had everything in on September 28th and this Thursday will be 4 weeks since I applied…
Does anyone know how long the wait is running ?
Really admire you guys living in the US… I am an international student and still working on my Common essay. Perhaps no chance for me to reserve skype interview… My friend said there is no seats left…
