[</em>] Job/Work Experience: Worked 15 hrs a week at pizza place for 1.5 years

[</em>] Teacher Recs: Glowing beyond belief, and one was semi-detailed: "Best in the class, hands down"
[<em>] Counselor Rec: Not sure, but probably more of the above
[</em>] Interview (feel, interviewer and general location): (On-Campus) Hardest one I had, I didn't think it went that great, but also not a disaster.

[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: Blind friggin' luck, baby.
[/ul]Other Factors: I can't think of any. Maybe the counselor cooked up some "this is the best applicant the school has ever seen" crap to get me in.
