Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:
</code></pre>

I honestly don’t know! All of my stats line up with those on this forum. I guess it might look bad that I took honors (not AP) Calc, and that I took a study hall. I had to take the study hall to have two lab sciences, but they don’t know that. I really should have put it on my application. Maybe they want to see my grades so they know I’m not just taking the study hall so that I can slack off. Because I’m definitely not. And maybe they didn’t like that one of my classes had to be regular Theology, but that’s required by my school.

Congrats to all who got in though, I know you deserved it :)
