[<em>] State or Country: Staten Island, New York City
[</em>] School Type: Public
[<em>] Ethnicity: Chinese American
[</em>] Major strength/weakness: Strong courseload and recommendations.. personal "ME" essays. I didn't think I was unique/artsy/quirky enough to make it.
[li] Why you think you were accepted/rejected/waitlisted: I had honest, tangy essays. And I guess they saw that I wanted to be a doctor but wanted to do an anthropology/linguistics concentration and saw that as "different"? I still got rejected from PLME though. But oh well =] Honestly, I don't know why they accepted me!!![/li][/ul]</p>
<p>Other Factors:
I'm not sure about ADOCH, yet... but anyways, congratulations to everyone and good luck wherever you end up attending!!</p>
<p>I was accepted. I prefer not to post personal stats, but it looks like I'm on the low end of average of those accepted. I am pretty pleased, I was definitely not expecting to be accepted. Now I have to figure out if I really want to go for that much money since I've received some nice merit scholarship elsewhere. I am actually shocked-- a Jew from Long Island who's main accomplishes lie in science normally has a bad shot, especially when a female with scientific accomplishments was accepted ED from the same district.</p>
