[ /list][ b]Other Factors: The regional director knows me very well. I emailed her a bunch, called her up when I first found out who the new rep would be, and even walked her out to the car (talking about Penn and me) when she was leaving my school after a presentation. O, and I flew up to Philly in mid November for an Alumni interview. [ /b]
[ b]General Comments/Congratulations/etc: i'm super depressed: My heart's been set on PENN since middle school. My dad went there, and this, among other things, has given me a very strong emotional attachment to PENN. I knew deferral was a good possibility, but as a legacy with a 1600 and what I think were distinguishable ECs, crap. Maybe I didn't convey the passion enough. My regional director's example for us as a passion was being well-lopsided: playing the violin and doing everything with it- basically what I have done but with the drums. Congrats to all who made it, my condolences for all who were deferred or denied.[ /b]</p>
