Reflection
Strengths: I’m considered very well rounded and my teachers and peers always count on me. I think this might have been mentioned in my rec letters. I’m known at my school as leader and sought after public speaker.
Weaknesses: I only took the SAT 1 time during Junior year. that was my score. never tested again. I’m sure my score would have jumped if I took it again
Also accepted to: U. PITT, Baylor, UC Santa Cruz, Seton Hill, U. San Francisco, Mercer
If I was not accepted to UR, I was going to attend PITT which was my 2nd choice and many students from my high school end up going there.
