<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>]SATI(breakdown): Did not submit officially

[</em>]Unweighted GPA(out of 4.0): 3.8 UW?<br>

[<em>]Summer Activities: mission trip, attended domestic/international leadership conferences through scholarships/fundraising
[</em>]Essays: Common App - I’m so proud of it! I put my heart into it and had lots of people proofread it; Supplement – Crappy (wrote it an hour before, did not even edit it, and realized there was a lot of errors after submitting it)
[<em>]Teacher Recommendation: Only God knows… teacher was my only option, wouldn’t have picked if I had other options :confused:

<p>[/ul]Reflection[ul]

[/ul]General Comments: I am extremely grateful to ND for offering me admission, but unfortunately my chances of actually attending there are very slim.
