[<em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think that I was primarily accepted due to my subjectives.

Although my test scores were high, my GPA was a little low. I also think that my upward trend of grades really helped too in that for my mid-year, which is why I applied EDII, I moved up to having a 4.0.
