Reflection
Strengths: I wrote really good essays, probably good recommendation letters (the few I saw were really good), I’m poor but that’s a weakness too. Rural region so no major oppurtunities
Weaknesses: I presented a sloppy version of my application and myself outside essays, Meh Sat II’s, No major awards.
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I presented a sloppy version of my application and myself outside essays
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted at University of Wyoming
General Comments: Gosh, I feel so close and yet so far… that’s okay… lesson learned and I’m going to try and send in an updated Extracurricular section.
