[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[<em>] Strengths: I’m strong in what I love and I’m dedicated to the subjects I enjoy, like English, History, and French. I challenge myself by taking the hardest courses my school has to offer in those subjects, and I skipped a year of French.
[</em>] Weaknesses: I’m mathematically challenged. My math grades were lackluster in some courses, I wasn’t really in the advanced track (though I took 9th grade math in 8th grade as part of a G&T program).
[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I just think they saw as much as I did that I really belonged at Smith. [/li][/ul] General Comments: I actually didn’t find Smith until this summer, after I’d already decided I was dead set on Elon University, but I’m so glad I decided to apply to Smith! Wouldn’t have it any other way!</p>
I’m so excited.</p>
