Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.):

Reflection
Strengths: Strong engineering extracurriculars, really tied interest in aerospace into the programs at the university, summer program demonstrates interest
Weaknesses: I didn’t feel as confident in my supplementary essays, OOS, grew up a Buckeye (but I didn’t tell them that!)
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected:
Where else you are applying or have already applied: Admitted to uMich and uMinn. Deferred from Princeton. Applied early/priority but still waiting for Illinois and Ohio State. Applying RD to Cornell, Northwestern, Columbia, Harvard, uChi, Carnegie Mellon, MIT.
General Comments/Advice/Hindsight: I was pretty down the past couple days after getting deferred from Princeton, and was hoping for Michigan to pick me up. I was a bit nervous with the talk about OOS being at a disadvantage, but I don’t have any legacy relation and I got in, so it’s not impossible! It feels great to not need to worry so much between now and the RD decisions.

Son was ACCEPTED! Out of state, LSA, prospective Math major. 2300 SAT (one and only sitting), no ACT (figured his SAT was good enough), top 1% in class of ~750 students. NMSF, AP scholar with distinction. He is a “legacy”, though the only spot on the application where this was brought up was on the common app where they asked if anyone in his family had attended and he checked yes. He didn’t mention his mother attending in any of his essays because he wanted to get in on his own merit.
