[ *] Strengths:Essays- My saving grace... I'm not so good at writing an essay in one go (SAT essay score 7)... takes me a while to write an inspired sentence. And a while for the next. And the next.

[ *] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:the janitor knocked down my paper from the reject pile, didn't know where it came from, shrugged, and put it into the accept pile...
