[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Essays: all who read them thought they were really good, and i gave them to teachers and friends alike. personally i liked them too.
[</em>] Teacher Recs: one from my sophomore english honors teacher. absolutely love her and we get along really well; i consider her to be the best teacher i've ever had.
[<em>] Counselor Rec: not sure, probably good.
[</em>] Hook (if any): i'm going to say it was my essays -- and maybe the way i stressed, throughout my entire app, that writing is my number one passion.

[</em>] Gender: Female
[<em>] major strength/weakness: strength is definitely writing; i had personable essays. didn't have very many awards but the ones that i did have were pretty highly regarded (scholastic writing awards). weakness...probably that i only had one AP junior year (i had two but i moved in the middle of the year and they didn't offer AP japanese at my new school), but i made up for that this year. my math SAT score was also not so pretty on the eyes...
[</em>] why you think you were accepted/rejected/deferred: hmm. essays, stress on major activities (writing & languages) and one major "thing that makes me who i am" (being a military brat and growing up in japan). and did a LOT of volunteer work. grades were also pretty good, As and Bs.
