<p>Reflection
Strengths: Essay, GPA, Community Service
Weaknesses: SAT, Work Experience.
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: Honestly, I think my essay had to have some sort of impact. I wrote about a Winnie the Pooh quote, and how that quote motivated me to teach myself English.
What would you have done differently?: Not taken so much time on my application questions, and done everything earlier on in the school year.</p>

<p>Other Factors: My school has one day called Module which is learning of a specific subject in the morning and going to museum’s in the afternoon and applying what we learned from class to museum visits. Which means I have 4 day’s of school for regular school work which makes it much rigorous school schedule. </p>

<p>General Comments & Advice: If you can, make yourself different as possible. Many people have great grades, great SAT scores, great extracurricular. Write an essay that truly is you, something that will let the Admissions counselor know you are of great value. I got many stares from my peer’s for writing about Winnie the Pooh, but hey it worked! Because it was just witty enough, creative enough and most importantly ME enough to let the reader know i’m different. DONT BE AFRAID TO BE UNIQUE!</p>
