<p>I applied EDII, and I didn’t see an EDII thread, so I’m posting here. Sorry if there are typos. I just came home. Time to go prepare for a research competition!</p>

[ *] Essays: I thought they were some of the best pieces of work I wrote for college, and I had so much fun with them. I also did the optional essay if anyone was curious. That was my favorite.
[ *] Teacher Recommendation: I got one from my AP Chem teacher and one from my AP US teacher. Both should have been wonderful, I’m sure, but I waived my right to view them.
[ *] Counselor Rec: I’m sure this was also rather flattering, too
[ *] Additional Rec: N/A
[ *] Interview: It went GREAT! I had a blast, but I’m not sure if this factored into my decision since it was only a few days before my decision</p>

<p>[ /list][ b]Reflection[ /b][ list]
[ *] Strengths: My grades and GPA were definitely helpful, but I also feel that my character in my essays was truly myself and Tufts must have enjoyed that aspect of me as well.
[ *] Weaknesses: Perhaps community service to some extent
[ *] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: My essays were serious when they needed to be and more comical when the time called for it. I let my soul go free in those essays, so I’m sure that was a major reason. Also, I’m certain my grades/test scores were great helps.
