<p>[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[<em>] Strengths: Standardized test scores minus SAT I writing, interesting
[</em>] Weaknesses: Supplement/Grades
[<em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think I was probably waitlisted based on my supplement/grades. Mostly my </em><em>ty supplement though.
[</em>] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accept: Purdue/Wisconsin/Georgia Tech/UCSD/Rice Deferred: Michigan Rejected: Stanford/UCLA Waiting: Cornell/Penn/USC/UCB</p>

<p>[/ul]General Comments: I’m kind of really upset right now. I really loved CMU, it seemed like the perfect place for me. I wish my essay could of reflected this more. I’ll try on the waitlist but it seems pretty unlikely. Life goes on though. Hopefully this all works out in the end. If there’s one piece of advice I’m going to tell kids in the future it is take some time away from your essays before you sent it in. I sent mine in with time remaining because they seemed great at the time and now I really really profoundly regret it. Good luck everyone!</p>
