All of my ECs were centered around education reform. I had an internship at the Lieutenant Governor’s office and worked on evaluation public schools. I had a published paper in a political journal.

[li] Hooks (URM, first generation college, research, etc.):</p>[/li]
<p>[/ul]Reflection:[list]
[<em>] Strengths: Commonapp essay, ECs, and interview.
[</em>] Weaknesses: My passion for education reform isn’t something I could really focus on at Wesleyan since they don’t have an education program. I think that was pretty apparent in my app.
[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: My waitlist status further confirms my belief that colleges are looking for fit. I was accepted as an early write at Swarthmore and they have one of the best education policy programs in the country. Wesleyan couldn’t offer me that and thus I wasn’t a great fit for Wesleyan. I’m not upset because I know while Wesleyan is probably a good social fit for me, it is not a good academic fit for me. I do not plan on accepting my place on the waitlist. </p>[/li]
<p>In case anyone is curious: I was also accepted at Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr (20k/year), Dickinson (15k/year), Goucher (full tuition), Brandeis, Delaware (4k/year), and Vermont (7k/year). I was deferred at Georgetown and do not expect to be accepted for the same reason I was not accepted at Wesleyan.</p>

<p>general comments: I was a bit surprised, considering everyone I had asked said that I ought to get in. It honestly wasn’t even in my top 10, so I’m not even bothered. I’ve gotten into schools in my top 10 so I wouldn’t have gone even if I did get in. It’s kind of a blow to my pride though, naturally…</p>
<p>katy: I feel the same, I was really sure I’d get in and it was a school I was actually seriously considering… Oh well though, at least it makes the final decision easier! I already have a full ride to Washington and Lee and Holy Cross, only thing left is D Day</p>
