[<em>] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.9/ weighted 4.3ish

[<em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Photo Editor for Pacemaker-winning 100 year old high school paper, senior theatre tech (and press photographer and press manager) for all three years of the life of an entirely student-run theatre company that does free outdoor theatre, Euphonium player for band and three years of school musical’s pit orchestra, hobbyist photographer as well as doing photography work (I do product photography and sports video for high school athletes)
[</em>] Job/Work Experience: None really
[<em>] Volunteer/Community service: Nothing regular enough to put down
[</em>] Essays: My common app essay was very good, I worked on it for a couple months and got significant editing help. It was about journalism and photography.
[<em>] Teacher Recommendation: 2, one from my econ and euro teacher who loves me and said it was an excellent rec. The other was by the journalism adviser who’s almost more like a friend. I pretty much rebuilt the photography department of my paper with his help (went from no staff photographers to winning awards in 2 years) and I’m pretty sure it’s a glowing recommendation.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Boilerplate. New counselor in my senior year so she doesn’t know me, although she seems friendly and I dropped in to say hi a few times. She oversees 500 students though, so every counselor rec at my school is boilerplate.
[<em>] Interview: Didn’t get one.
[/ul]Other[ul]
[</em>] Applied for Financial Aid?: Yes, although I’m middle class from San Francisco, so income numbers are high by most of the country’s standards. Hopefully they take Cost of Living into account a lot?

[<em>] School Type: Large Public Magnet School (ranked top 30 in the nation)
[</em>] Ethnicity: White
[<em>] Gender: Male
[</em>] Income Bracket: 120k ish
[<em>] Hooks (URM, first generation college, research, etc.): Nada
[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[</em>] Strengths: Scores, extracurriculars (especially journalism, photography business, and theatre company), public school?
[<em>] Weaknesses: Volunteer/Work experience. It’s not uncommon for top students at my school to take ten to twelve APs (we’re accused of being an AP mill), so by that standard I’m not taking advantage of my curriculum opportunities. Hopefully they see that I’ve always tried to avoid taking APs just for the sake of taking them though…
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Wes was definitely sort of a last minute addon, and I think they may be able to tell that I’ve never put much thought into them. I like the school, but I’m fine with being waitlisted (I just hope it doesn’t reflect on my Ivy chances…)
[/ul]General Comments: I was a little surprised, but I’m into other schools I’d rather go to anyway, so I hope someone who cares more about Wesleyan than me got in!</p>

[<em>] Essays: I was really proud of my common app essay, it addressed some personal stuff in a light way. The shorter ones were ok, I kind of did them in haste. If only Wes had a supplement…
[</em>] Teacher Recommendation: Didn’t read it, but from two teachers who really care about me. I’m sure they were good.

[li] why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I have no idea… I count my supplement essays to be the strongest aspects of my application, but since Wesleyan didn’t ask for one, I’m truly at a loss.

<p>general comments:
Pretty happy, considering I’ve been tearing my hair out for an acceptance and my only other decision is a deferral/rejection from my first choice, UChicago. I admit I haven’t seriously considered Wesleyan before, putting it in just as a school where I have a good chance (and also because they didn’t require a “Why Wesleyan” essay, like many schools, there was just no reason to look it up thoroughly), but I’m going to check it out in earnest now.</p>
