Letters of rec: probably pretty good
Essay: 9 / 10
Extracurriculars: good and unique, i was an exchange student & have volunteered w them for over 200 hrs as well as many other clubs & a 20/hr week job

mainly disappointed because i don’t know any other schools with a specific cultural anthro program, and that’s really what i wanted to study : ((

@twicemama 40k total, 10k/year. Though 40k/year certainly would’ve been generous haha

Decision (and if deferred EA): Didn’t apply EA, ACCEPTED for RD!!
SAT/ACT (Superscore): 33, only took once. Didn’t officially send my SAT but i had it in common app of 1460 (yikes).
GPA (UW/W + Scale Info): UW: 3.86/4 W: 4.06 (my school is really competitive and grades kinda harsh)
State/Country: Georgia, USA
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Did you apply for FA?: Yes. good money anddd a scholarship!
Honors/NMF/etc?: Lot of science fair wins. Georgia Governors honors program… 14 AP’s all together? nothing like major. I am a girl going into mechanical engineering so that may have helped. TONS of internships and extracurriculars with leaderships although they were mainly in art except mech eng research at Georgia Tech (where i was recently rejected haha).

Completely surprised?? Showed no interested other than signing up for the emailing list… didnt apply early… not the strongest application and my stats aren’t amazing. I opened the decision trying to not act like i cared bc i thought it would be a rejection for sure.

Congrats everyone who got accepted!
