[/ul]General Comments:
I feel giddy right now, much more so than an 18-year-old boy should be. But it is quite justified, I guess To everyone who got in - congrats, and may I meet you sometime in the future! To those who did not - I am sure that life has wonderful things in store for you elsewhere. The one thing that I do want to emphasize to those underclassmen who are reading these results threads is to show your personality in your application. Seriously. I made sure that my essays and my supplement essays and everything else in my application could not have been written or compiled by anyone else but me, and I firmly believe that this is one of the main reasons that I got in. Make the admissions people laugh, make them cry, whatever, just make sure that what they read in their office is the quintessence of your soul (to quote Dr. Seuss: “No one in the world / is youer than you”). I’m gonna stop my rambling now because it’s late, but again, congrats to all those accepted!

jneal8894 · March 24, 2012, 1:23am

Decision: Waitlisted

Objective:
SAT I (breakdown): (Did NOT send, but the score nonetheless) 1900 (took once). 640 CR, 590 M, 670 W
ACT: 29 Composite, 31 English, 27 Mathematics, 33 Reading, 23 Science, 30 Combined English/Writing, 10 Writing

Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): (Although my school does not explicitly calculate it) 3.94
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): 16/442 (Top 4% in largest HS in state)
AP (place score in parenthesis): 5 U.S. History , 4 Psych, 3 English Language
Senior Year Course Load: 5 AP’s (English Lit, Stats, Env. Science, Calc AB, U.S. Gvmt/Pol) 1 Non-Honors Course (Classroom Peer Tutor)
Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): AP Scholar
Subjective:
Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): National Honor Society-11th and 12th, National English Honor Society- 11th and 12th , MU Alpha Theta- 10th, 11th, and 12th, National Spanish Honor Society- 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th
Job/Work Experience: None
Volunteer/Community service: None/Not much listed other than general references of group accomplishments associated with extracurricular (ie: a canned food drive with NHS)
Summer Activities: None listed
Essays: Common app essay was about the importance of tutoring and role it has played in my life; that there is more than just reveling in self accomplishments, but using the gift of knowledge to help other classmates. Supplements: 1) About the role Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut affected the way I look at the world and the horrors of war 2) My favorite word: patience and the role it has played in my life, especially in my academic endeavours
Teacher Recommendation: 1 recommendation from a social studies teacher I had as a freshman in World History Honors, AP Psychology in 11th grade, and now serve as a peer tutor in his classroom. I have not seen the recommendation, but was assured of his passion for me.

Interview: None
Other
State (if domestic applicant): West Virginia
Country (if international applicant):
School Type: public
Ethnicity: White
Gender: male
Income Bracket: N/A
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): None
Strengths: Certainly not my test scores! That said though, although a 29 composite isn’t particularly notable, I do take some pride in my ACT Writing score of a 10 which is in the 99th percentile. Given that " vindication" of my writing abilities it’s possible I wrote some strong essays. I also take some pride in the rigor and performance of my transcript, although many other applicants also sport similar numbers. Other than that I am unsure of what attracted me in any regard.
Weaknesses: Test scores, could have had more EC’s/more elaboration
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Test scores, OOS applicant
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted to WVU and Ohio State

This was the dream school and I figured it to be a stretch. Considering I was firmly ready for a rejection a dream on life support is still something to hold onto!

[] Weaknesses: Not in top 10%, from Northern Virginia
[] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I am in the top 12%, but 92% of UVA students are in the top 10%. Northern Virginia is also highly competitive because of the large population.
[] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected:
Waitlisted: UNC-Chapel Hill, Accepted: Dickinson College, JMU (waiting to hear from Honors College), U of South Carolina(with in-state tuition), UNC Wilmington (recieved decision earlier than most because top applicant, invited to apply to the honors college)

[/ul]General Comments: UVA may say they are holistic, and because they have so many applicants they sometimes have to be to narrow down their decisions, but mostly the school cares about its stats and ranks itself with ivy league schools. I feel that my class rank is what hurt me the most, as well as the fact that I only took latin for 3 years because I struggle with foreign languages.
