Reflection[ul]
[li] Weaknesses: Unimpressive awards. Short EC list. Other than lacosse, my ECs and volunteering lack significant commitment. Totally overlooked/missed opportunities to compete in prestigious competitions, join summer programs, do research/internships. I blame my school, which was recently built and undeveloped in these areas, but I suppose it really just comes down to ignorance. [/li][/ul]

Other decisions: Waitlisted by WashU and Rice.

General Comments: Extremely pleased with the financial aid, particularly after receiving several disheartening packages from schools who don’t guarantee to meet 100% and were asking for impossible amounts of money.

Reflection
Strengths: Lots of ECs and leadership, essays, recs

Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Too many apps, not enough room? Lol not sure, I guess I didn’t stand out
What other schools have you been accepted to/plan on going?
Accepted to: Ohio State, Case, UMichigan, Wash U, BC
Waitlisted: Vandy, UChicago
General Comments: Even though I got in to Wash U, I’m not particularly surprised. Vandy wasn’t a super top choice of mine, and for what I want to do (medicine) Wash U is ranked higher, but of course it would have been nice to have gotten in. Not upset though; congrats to everyone accepted and good luck to all!
