- University of Michigan: EA Accepted
- London School of Economics: Accepted

In general, the outcome isn’t quite what I wanted but it was also much better than I expected. In hindsight I probably should’ve spent more time on essays and perhaps applied to 1 school ED2 instead of waiting for RD.
Happy to say that I committed to USC. Fight on!
