<p>Has anyone gotten the email but not able to click the link because its not actually a link?</p>
<p>@NBCbynature, I guess this means we’ll probably be classmates next year, I can’t wait!</p>
<p>Hi and congrats to all! Seriously SO excited to meet you all next fall 
I don’t really want to post all of my stats, but basically I had…
2310 SAT, 3.8 GPA, 5’s in 5 APs, national merit, extracurrics, etc.
If I have any free time, I’ll edit with the full stats. Oh and I was accepted to SESP!</p>
<p>@CollegeHelp111, I will read your essays!</p>
<p>So stoked - I got accepted into McCormick for biomedical engineering!!!</p>

[<em>] Volunteer/Community service: 250+ hours at a nursing home, 200+ hours at a non-profit as a secretary, taught English to 2nd graders in Tanzania for two weeks.
[</em>] Summer Activities: Lots of volunteering, training for sports, nothing worth mentioning.
[<em>] Essays: Wrote about my trip in Tanzania (executed in a non-cliche way). My NU Essay was original; I bridged my passion for mathematics to my love of journalism.
[</em>] Teacher Recommendation: Awesome! Two from English teachers (one of which I had Freshman & Senior year), one from my Calculus teacher from last year.
[<em>] Counselor Rec: Great. My counselor likes me (I think). I think she also thought that I wouldn’t get into NU, so she wrote me an outstanding letter.
[</em>] Additional Rec: Got one from the Executive Director of the non-profit that I volunteer at.
[<em>] Interview:[/ul]Other
[ul] Eh. So-so… I think he thought I was a bit of a goof.

[</em>] Ethnicity: Asian (Taiwanese)
[<em>] Gender: Female
[</em>]Income Bracket: $200,000>
[<em>] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.):[/ul]Reflection
[list] None… I am possibly the most unlucky demographic to apply to Medill: an asian female whose parents make bank… Hopefully this serves as encouragement for any future applicants in my scenario!
[</em>] Strengths: GPA & courseload, Recs, my NU Essay
[<em>] Weaknesses:Test scores, ECs… Didn’t have any journalism-related ones. This might’ve been an advantage though as they probably thought it was refreshing.
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Many Medill applicants/students have been in Newspaper or Yearbook and held senior editing positions, so I suppose they liked me because I was different! Glad it worked out this way; I knew that it would either be really appealing or really unappealing that I show no evidential passion for journalism…</p>
<p>Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected:** Applied to USC Annenberg, UC Berkeley, UW. Withdrew them, of course.
General Comments:** SOOOOO glad to be accepted! Medill & NU are the PERFECT match for me. Could not be any happier.</p>
