[ *] major strength/weakness: Writing (strength)
[ *] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: (Note: I am writing about my daughter who was accepted today): Sending in the ACT along with the SATs probably didn't hurt; SAT was solid but it's the SAT subject tests and ACT that were really good. Strong, well-rounded student with good but not great extracurriculars (1 year AYSO soccer, 1 year AYSO soccer coach, Head Acolyte at church (4 yrs.), Cappies Theater Critic program (1 yr.), Interact Club (4 yrs.), Ecology Club (1 yr.), neighborhood math tutor, private piano) and a great recommendation letter from an amazing teacher; extended family in NC may have persuaded them of serious interest even though we're in CA
[ *] going to attend?: Not sure yet. We're probably going to visit in April. A lot depends on $$.
