<p>But you were accepted, right?</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<ul>

</ul>

<p>Honors/Awards:</p>

<p>Basically nothing except honorable mentions for national spanish and french exams, french achievement award for 2 years, and MVP for freshman soccer. not like that means anything</p>

<p>Subjective:</p>

<ul>
<li>Essays: Good, not great</li>
<li>Teacher Recs: One of them was decent, the other I didn't see</li>
<li>Counselor Rec: Probably impersonal... never saw it</li>
<li>Hook (if any): I'm good at rowing</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>State or Country: MA</li>
<li>School Type: Public</li>
<li>Ethnicity: White</li>
<li>Gender: Femalie</li>
<li>Perceived Strengths/Weaknesses: my weaknesses are my recs and class rank. SAT-score wise, I should have gotten into the top tier schools that i applied to. i think the fact that i am skimming the top 10% at a mediocre public school is what really killed me.... although it is true that my class is extremely academic and competitive</li>
<li>Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: The coach recruited me and I knew I was in about 2 weeks after I sent my app</li>
</ul>

<p>Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:</p>

<p>For those wondering why they got waitlisted or rejected...</p>

<p>if you live within 3 to 4 hrs driving of Lehigh, they expect you to visit the campus. If you checked off that you didn't visit the campus, that almost means automatic waitlist.</p>
