<p>Reflection</p>

<pre><code>Strengths: EC’s, AP course load
Weaknesses: GPA
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Most likely, I was accepted because I am an athlete, sorry if this makes those of you who didn’t get in upset. It was a huge asset that I had my activities, I was a “recruited athlete”
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted- UW-Madison, UM-Twin Cities, Applied but not heard back from rest
</code></pre>

<p>General Comments: Good luck to the rest of you! My stats are probably skewed because of the whole athlete thing but still for reference for the other recruits!</p>

<p>Hope you all get in!</p>

3

<p>maho, were you recruited for track or swim? I am a “recruited athlete” for middle distance track.</p>

4

<p>Carleton is a joke.</p>

5

<p>^ And what makes u say that about one of the very top liberal arts institution in the US??
Just because you aren’t good enough for Carleton doesn’t make it a joke.</p>

6

<p>To those of you who got their results did it arrive in a big envelope? My daughter applied to Carleton and she is out of town. A big white envelope from that college arrived today and I’m excited but won’t know till she comes back to open it.</p>

7

<p>Yes, a big white envelope is definitely good news! Congratulations to your daughter.</p>

8

<p>I haven’t gotten my letter yet, but I’ve never heard of a big rejection letter so I think it’s safe to assume she’s been accepted!!</p>

9

<p>Decision: Rejected</p>

<p>Objective:
SAT I (breakdown): Didn’t send in
ACT: 34 (34 english, 31 math, 35 science, 36 reading)
SAT II: 710 Lit, 730 US History and Math Level 1
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): Maybe around a 3.55? Not sure on UW, just below a 3.9 weighted though with an extremely favorable upward trend
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): About 15th percentile
AP (place score in parenthesis): World History (3) Macro (4) Stats (5) Lang (5) Micro (5) US History (5)
IB (place score in parenthesis):
Senior Year Course Load: Taking my senior year to do full time college work at the University of Minnesota
Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): I don’t know if its major but whatever the second highest AP scholar is
Subjective:
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Varsity lacrosse (captain) varsity football, Link Crew, Student Literacy Council
Job/Work Experience: Internship at a local non-profit
Volunteer/Community service: Assistant coach for area youth lacrosse teams, summer camp counselor for lacrosse, Operation Military Kid with the Minnesota National Guard to help children deal with the deployment of their parent(s), gone on a few mission trips
Summer Activities: Lacrosse and lacrosse coaching
Essays: Well written but not very funny, I think this hurt me for Carleton. Wish they had a supplement so I could do one with more personality like I did at all my other schools
Teacher Recommendation: Very good, I was among their favorite students, had a chance to read and they said great things, but I know everyone who applies to Carleton has teachers who love them so I doubt mine stood out
Counselor Rec: Didn’t have a chance to see, she didn’t know me very well but seemed to like me the little bit we talked
Additional Rec: Executive director of the non-profit I intern and coach for. He’s been my mentor for a while and really stressed my leadership potential, thought this was very helpful to have
Interview: I felt like it went very very well
Other
State (if domestic applicant): Minnesota
Country (if international applicant):
School Type: Large Public
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Male
Income Bracket: Upper Middle Class
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): None
Reflection Absolutely loved the school and felt like I had a decent chance. Wish there was more room on the application to stress how much I wanted to go there and get my personality through
Strengths: Grade trend, test scores I suppose were slightly above average, interview
Weaknesses: Probably my essay, class rank, mid year grades (gotta love calc teachers who have 100 percent lost their mind and have english as a very, very second language)
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Competition is just tough, so many amazing applicants and people. The best thing about Carleton, the students, unfortunately kept me out. I gave it a good shot but ended up a little (for my own ego I hope not a lot) short!
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: accepted at the University of Minnesota, waitlisted at WashU and Macalester , deferred at U Chicago, rejected at Penn
General Comments: I was really hoping to be apart of this amazing community and school but I’m sure it will all work out somewhere else! Best of luck to everyone with their college experiences!</p>

<p>Decision: Rejected</p>

<p>Objective:
SAT I (breakdown): 760 CR, 720 M, 680 W
ACT: 33 (34 english, 31 math, 34 science, 34 reading)
SAT II: None
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 4.0

Subjective:
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Link Crew, NHS, Spanish NHS

Interview: None
Other
State (if domestic applicant): Oregon
Country (if international applicant):
School Type: Medium Public
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Female
Income Bracket: Middle Class
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): None
Reflection: I had definitely expected rejection after the Mac waitlist and seeing other people’s statuses. I wasn’t sure I wanted to move all the way to Minnesota, anyway (though I did love the school).
Strengths: Grades and test scores, I guess
Weaknesses: Pretty much everything else
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I’m just not nearly competitive enough. Especially in my EC’s.
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted and U of O and Willamette, waitlisted at Macalester, haven’t heard from anyone else yet.
General Comments: I really loved this college and would have loved to go here, but I think it’s probably good for me to not move so far away so early. I’ve had anxiety issues in the past and it’s probably better for me to stay close to home - at least for undergrad. Congrats to everyone who got in!</p>

11

<p>bookworm2345- It was for swimming! Good luck in track though…I assume you got in to Carleton then??</p>

12

<p>Yay! That’s awesome for you!! Unfortunately, I live in California, so I probably won’t receive any snail mail until today or saturday at the earliest.</p>

[<em>] Teacher Recommendation: Good! They made me feel all fuzzy inside.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Hopefully good. I’ve gotten to know her pretty well since sophomore year, so… they were good enough for Carleton! :slight_smile:

[<em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think that Carleton is an overall good fit for me! I think they may have seen that in the things I do and the things I said in my essay (I think) made it seem like I wanted to go there!
[</em>] Final thoughts: Final thoughts: I’m excited to get into Carleton! I’m going to go visit soon and see if I like it in person as much as I like it on paper!

ACT:
SAT II: 680 (Literature), 620 (Spanish w/o listening), 710 (US History)

Job/Work Experience: Camp counselor, caretaker for my grandmother, babysitter
Volunteer/Community service: my school require 20 hours a year, and I’ve gone over that every year. I went to Nicaragua and Costa Rica for a 3-week service trip. I also did a trip to the Dominican Republic that was SCUBA/science/service in a rural area (close to the haitian border, if that gives you any idea about how awful the situation was).
Summer Activities: Study abroad in Spain, Nicaragua and Costa Rica service trip, Dominican Republic trip, volunteer at local land trust and a food bank
Essays: Carleton blurb was pretty standard, but my common app essay was pretty good. I wrote about running out of air while scuba diving, but learning to overcome my fear and then applying that message to the rest of my life, including the college process
Teacher Recommendation: I had one from my spanish teacher/adviser who I’m close with which was pretty good. The other was from my Stats teacher and probably not as personal, but I wanted to show I don’t completely suck at math. I can’t be sure though because I haven’t seen them.
Counselor Rec: Really good. I go to a really small school with a dedicated college counselor, so I know him really well.

Country (if international applicant):
School Type: Independent Episcopal school
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Female
Income Bracket: over $300,000
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): SC is really underrepresented at Carleton, considering the fact that it’s in rural Minnesota, so I think that really helped. I haven’t heard of anyone else from SC who applied.</p>

<p>Reflection
Strengths: Unique extracurriculars and essays, coming from an underrepresented area, SAT Critical Reading, definite upward trend in my grades
Weaknesses: GPA and math scores
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Being from SC helped I’m sure, but it’s such a crap shoot, so you never really know.
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I’ve got 5 more school to hear back from, but I got into Rhodes College and the University of St Andrews in Scotland, waitlisted at Wellesley, and denied from Northwestern.
General Comments: Can’t wait to visit, but I’m worried about the cold.</p>
