[ *] Summer Activities:Camper, CIT, Counselor, Accelerated Math Program (Pre-calculus Honors Summer 2012), Miami University Skating Camps (Elite, Figure Skating, Synchronized Skating)
[ *] Essays: Lit teacher reviewed. Common App “Place where you are perfectly content,” very good, wrote about skating rink at 5:30 AM. Community essay, wrote about camp and my last night with 15 other counselors from around the world, pretty good and showed an interesting side of me. Why Michigan essay, put a lot of research into it and quoted some of the LSA videos from the website.
[ *] Teacher Recommendation: One very good (math teacher soph-senior year), Other probably pretty good (chem teacher jr/sr year)
[ *] Counselor Rec: Very good

[ /list][ b]Other**[list]
[ *] State (if domestic applicant):NJ
[ *] School Type:Private, Catholic
[ *] Ethnicity:Caucasian
[ *] Gender:Female
[ *] Income Bracket(mention if FA candidate):>200,000
[ *] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.):None

[ /list][ b]Reflection**[list]
[ *] 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.
[ *] Weaknesses:No hooks, “white girl from NJ”, Chem SAT 2 considering I want to be a chem major
[ *] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:I got lucky and they liked my personality. I think I let myself shine through in my essays and application.
[ *] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Rutgers Honors Program (accepted), Adrian College (accepted, 14,000+ scholarship), Harvard (Deferred SCEA)

[ /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.
