<p>No GPA at school, but probably top ten precent. </p>
<p>I’m very happy for senior slump. I only filled out one application so I’m relived not to be rushing through a couple more.</p>
<p>AEM here, but got deferred. Not too bad, posting my stats later</p>
<p>I’m seeing a lot of sub-2000 SAT acceptances…yay. I hope my friend gets in regular so we can be roommates.</p>

</ul>
<p>Subjective:</p>
<ul>
<li>Essays: My supplement sucked (I wrote one draft and that was that), but my personal essay was reflective on the passion of volleyball, and how despite my injury the day I was voted captain (oh the irony), I struggled to blah blah blah</li>
<li>Teacher Recs: One from a really close teacher of mine, it was beautiful! The other, I have no idea. But it was written by a teacher who graduated from Cornell and it was the only class I actually struggled and worked my ass off to get an A in (I was in the classroom studying EVERY DAY during lunch time)</li>
<li>Counselor Rec: She wrote one for me before, and said she really enjoyed writing it. But she didn’t let me read it. Oh well.</li>
