<p>Reflection
Strengths: SAT; perhaps geography, National Merit finalist
Weaknesses: GPA, no extras to speak of
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Not sure why rejected. When I put my rejected into Naviance for my school it looks so funny. There are all these accepts and then me way out to the right as a denied. ND was about 7th on my list of schools but there is still something annoying about being rejected where you thought you had a real shot. It just seems like a crapshoot. I’m in at Wash U, Vandy, USC, NYU and Michigan but so far denied at ND and Virginia and waitlisted at Georgetown.</p>

Disappointed, but ND wasn’t my first choice. C’est la vie.</p>

<p>Best wishes to everyone. It’s looking as if it’s more competitive than ever.</p>

<p>Question–posters are saying they were accepted or rejected by specific colleges. I thought ND admitted all students into First Year Studies in past years. They did not admit by specific colleges before. Has this changed?</p>

<p>Accepted CAS! Very excited! Will post full stats later, but I’m valedictorian of 292 with a 1500 SAT.</p>
