[</em>] Essays: freaking excellent. i really thought this would get me in. i wrote about a unique experience i had with my Tica homestay mom

[</em>] Other Factors:
[<em>] Why do you think you were accepted/rejected?: i guess NYU isn't as holistic as i thought it was. i would have to say my average GPA and SAT scores. i really thought my essay/personal statements and extracurriculars would get me in... My boarding school for 9th and 10th grades didn't offer any AP or honors courses, and didn't even have a foreign language department, so maybe that has something to do with it as well. :'(
[</em>] General Comments: i'm not even going to lie, i sobbed for a good 15 minutes straight after reading the letter. my heart was completely set on getting into NYU, i really allowed myself to get overly idealistic about the whole thing. oh well, there's always transfer... since i was rejected, i'll be attending Drexel.
