[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Decent essays, decent grades, leadership positions, and I’m assuming the UW doesn’t get a lot of applicants from Massachusetts.[/li][/ul]General Comments:
UW has been my top choice since my sophomore year, however, living in Massachusetts may prove to be a challenge. But, I have planned ahead in terms of paying for travel, etc.

[] Essays: i modified my “the world you come from” essay from my UC application. it was okay, i think.
[] Teacher Recommendation: hopefully good! i TA for the AP history teacher who wrote one of my recs, but i don’t think he’s the type to exaggerate at all.

[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: i would have to ask the admissions office. i’m guessing the fact that i’m OOS and have the ability to pay full OOS tuition is a part of it.[/li][/ul]General Comments: REALLY EXCITED WHEN I SAW THE GOLD ENVELOPE and the dramatic “the big envelope” text
