Reflection
Strengths: SATs, going to a school with an amazing reputation (which didnt really help, im pretty sure all our ED applicants were rejected, lol)
Weaknesses: school grades, maybe teacher recs (we’re forced to waive our rights to read them, so i have no idea what my teachers wrote)
Why NYU? great environment, great business school
Why you think you were accepted/rejected: made the mistake of submitting ALL my SAT scores, some of which were not so impressive. school grades are also not as strong!
Other schools your are/were considering: Brown University, UVA, Boston U, UC Berkeley
