Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected:

General Comments:
Honestly, I was surprised I was accepted. I worked decently hard in high school and studied a bit too much for standardized tests. To whoever is reading this at the very moment, make sure to take things seriously but have fun with life!!! Find something you really love and pursue that. The rest will fall into place by itself!!
