Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: I belong there.
Seriously, my mentor wrote me a 5 page recommendation. I’m a Siemens Semifinalist. My research project is based on one at MIT.
I’m decent at bridge design: <a href=“http://bridgecontest.usma.edu/standings/zone_all.htm?28652-14666[/url]”>http://bridgecontest.usma.edu/standings/zone_all.htm?28652-14666</a>
I tried very hard on my essays.

I thought they were going to reject me because I put down Unofficial Rubik’s Cube World Record (4x4x4 FMC) as one of my International honors. It’s true, but it’s not really confirm-able.

My friend who’s ranked 1 in the class also got in.
