[] Weaknesses: ECs
[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I was able to persevere and be successful in HS despite many family/life challenges. [/li]
[/ul]General Comments: It’s a relief to be accepted. I was deferred from MIT today and accepted to UMichigan yesterday. I have a few colleges I’ll hear back from in March, so now I just need to decide which will be best. I wish everyone the best of luck.

To those looking at this for guidance for applying to the future, work hard, keep moving forward, but have fun. You will be successful no matter where you go if you want it enough.

Happy holidays!
