<p>BUbearcat19,
Thanks for the pep talk! I’m bracing myself for the disappointment. Ultimately, I’ll be okay, since I would be happy to attend several of the other schools I got into, but the rejection is hard to take. Anyway, thanks for being supportive of everyone on this thread!</p>

<p>BUbearcat19 - I’ve heard that Bing considers GPA and SAT scores mostly, how important is the common app essay? Do they weigh the essays more now since there are so many more applications every year? Thanks.</p>
