Essay 2 (Different for each school):7
Wrote on my support of international agreements for SFS–short essay I wrote while I was at Stanford and got top marks. I start off on how the bathrooms at Stanford have this sticker that reminds people to save paper and at the bottom it says that that sticker saves X about of trees a year, then connect that to the validity of international agreements.
Other:

Family friends and Spanish teacher. Never got to see it but supposedly she writes a fantastic recommendation.

None

I don’t know, but he has always been pretty fond of me and my family.

None
Interview:
I honestly don’t think it went that well. I thought my Duke and Tufts interviews went much better. Nothing awful happened, but she basically asked me everything that was on my application already. However, I had trouble contacting my original interviewer and so the coordination for my city gave me his “best interviewer” so who knows.

Went to Georgetown the summer before my junior years for a college prep program, race? </p>

<p>Reflection
Strengths: My essays, two years of college summer school
Weaknesses: Grades, Scores
Why you think you were accepted:
I have no idea. My essays were good and original. I have a knack for making them tie into something unexpected (sticker/tomato) so I’m sure that stuck out.
What would you have done differently?:
None
[/list]Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations, etc: I’m still shocked. It’s obvious that this year they’re not looking for the best test-takers. I can’t say for other years, but my neighbor was deferred two years ago with a 35 ACT, probably perfect essays, and probably great recommendations.</p>
