Reflection[list]
[<em>] Strengths: Essays (personal and showed interest) and EC
[</em>] Weaknesses: SAT
Comments: i’m surprised i got so much FA. i really need it. the thing is that i’m down to two colleges. i am accepted to GW, but i was waitlisted to University of Chicago, where my brother attends. I am sending in my letter of intent to GW, but we’ll see when i get my decision from UC in June. </p>
<p>From all the posts that i’ve read, i am most likely sure that i have received the highest FA offer. not trying to brag, but i want to know if there are any other applicants out there with a higher FA offered to him or her?</p>
I got into GW and I got wait listed to the 7 year program.</p>
