Much too lazy to write out everything [Image</a> 64999 - CtrlV.in](<a href=“Featured Posts - Amirite”>Featured Posts - Amirite)
**Writing (Write a brief description and Rate Quality on 1-10 Scale; 10 as Best):7, introspective **[ list]
[</em>] Essays (Include Subjects): Honestly, I don’t remember what I wrote for my essays, but it’s definitely important to have: Teachers, people who got into fantastic universities, people you know really well to see if ‘you’ shines through, and people you don’t know too well to use as a control.[ list]
[<em>] Other:
[</em>] Teacher Recommendation #1: Great
[<em>] Counselor Rec: Decent
[</em>] Interview: It went well. Things to keep in mind: The interview questions are so stereotypically like a job interview that it’s uncanny. Before you go in, have in mind the achievements that you’re most proud of and the projects you led outside of school.
[<em>] What did you choose as your major: Finance + maybe economics
[</em>] Date Submitted App: Early November
[<em>] State (if domestic applicant): In-State
[</em>] School Type: Large competitive public
[<em>] Ethnicity: Indian American
[</em>] Gender: Male
[<em>] Income Bracket: 120k+
[</em>] Strengths: SAT, business oriented ECs, recommendation
[<em>] Weaknesses: AP Courseload, Class rank/GPA
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: Honestly, I thought my class rank precluded me from admission into BHP. Feeling that you’re deficient in one area of your application should not stop you from putting your best effort toward applying.
[li] What would you have done differently?: I definitely would have worked harder in debate and on my class-rank during freshman and sophomore years. I would have focused on maybe 3-4 extracurriculars for really good achievements instead of spreading myself thin and meager achievements in each.[/li]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations, etc:[/ul]
