Honestly I was more than surprised when I found out I was accepted. I never knew my score stats would live up to its name, but I’m guessing the passion I put into my EC’s made me got in.
And note about my SAT score: I’ve only known 1 person in my entire campus (including classes from 2009 and 2010) who got a 2000+ on their SATs, so you can imagine how well off my school is…
