[ *] Strengths: My essays were very good, I have a lot of interesting ECs with many leadership roles, and my scores helped. I’ve taken really hard courses (hardest allowed at my small school) and done well in them. I also really liked UMich and I think that showed in my essay.

<p>[ /list][ b]General Comments: ** I really like UMich and I am so glad I got in. Admissions does become luck of the draw at some of the top-tier schools, and I guess they read my app on a good day. Realistically, my decision (between my top matches, not sure if I will get into all of these schools) will probably end up being between UMich, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, and Barnard.</p>
