[</em>] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I haven’t heard back from any other schools year</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted</p>

<p>Objective:[ul]
[<em>] SAT I (breakdown): didn’t take (seriously)
[</em>] ACT: 33
[<em>] SAT II: 700 USH, 770 Spanish (no listening), 760 Math II
[</em>] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): about 3.7; 92.5 on the 100 scale.
[<em>] Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): unranked
[</em>] AP (place score in parenthesis): 5 Spanish
[<em>] IB (place score in parenthesis): n/a
[</em>] Senior Year Course Load: Three APs (AB, Enviro, Psych), and classes on James Joyce and US Constitutional Law. Also a teaching internship in the music department and fencing as my gym selective.
[<em>] Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): National Merit Commendation
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Jazz Band, sectional editor on both newspaper and arts magazine, Musical Rep band, mentored a sixth grade student with a history project, wrote for an anonymous advice service
[<em>] Job/Work Experience: n/a
[</em>] Volunteer/Community service: Central Park Summerstage, a few odd jobs here and there; nothing impressive
[<em>] Summer Activities: Music camp; also a camp for web design one year
[</em>] Essays: did all the optional ones; the personal statement was about Coltrane’s My Favorite Things, and for “Why Tulane” I talked about the location. Pretty good essays, I suppose, although no reason why yours couldn’t be better.
[<em>] Teacher Recommendation: Two. I don’t know if one of them even made it to the office in time. Supposedly glowing, although of course I’ve never read them.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Probably unimpressive–my counselor quit her job midway through the process and I’m working with a new guy who is competent but just doesn’t know me that well at that point.
[<em>] Additional Rec: nope
[</em>] Interview: didn’t bother, although I was the only one at the info session when they came to my school, so I got to talk with the rep for a while.
[/ul]Other[ul]
[<em>] Applied for Financial Aid?: plan to apply for DHS and need-based
[</em>] Intended Major: I put Linguistics. Probably a smart move, in retrospect, considering how small their department is.
[<em>] State (if domestic applicant): NY
[</em>] School Type: Public, but selective admissions
[<em>] Ethnicity: White
[</em>] Gender: Male
[<em>] Income Bracket: About $150,000 a year combined
[</em>] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): none
[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[<em>] Strengths: I think the recs and test scores pulled me through.
[</em>] What you tried to focus on in your application - any hooks you tried to make for yourself: I focused a lot on my musical ability, even though it wasn’t related to my major. I figured in New Orleans, they’d like that.
[<em>] Weaknesses: My extracurrics are solid, but definitely not that great. I guess I have just enough to show that I spend my time doing productive things. Also, my grades are kind of a rollercoaster for almost my entire transcript (and mostly my second-semester grades are lower than first-semester).
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Again, I probably hit a few of the buttons that they liked (music, especially). Also, and I would STRONGLY recommend this to everyone who applies, I was going to mention their resilient spirit and whatnot, but I decided I shouldn’t talk about Katrina or the BP Oil Spill anywhere. I don’t think they like that they’re still associated with that.

[<em>] Teacher Recommendation: VERY strong.
