Accepted to Health and Human Sciences as a Dietetics major. Anyone else?

neolamarckism · December 13, 2010, 12:18am

Decision: Accepted
College of Agriculture: Agribusiness

Stats:
SAT: 2060
SAT2: Math 1- 700 Bio M-720
ACT: N/A
GPA: 2.9 UW
Rank: Unranked
Others: 6 AP, all Honors

Subjective:
Essays: Mediocre, generic, cliche
Teacher recs: None
Counselor rec: Satisfactory
Hook: Insane (trololo) music talents

Location:
State: PA
School: Private Prep School (ridiculously competitive)
Ethnicity: AZN (yes I know I have very unimpressive very AZN stats)
Gender: Male

General Comments: Mediocre in everything… I thought I wouldn’t get accepted because I spent virtually no time on the apps. 40 mins TOPS essay+data. Well I guess I’m happy since I got in. Waiting for other schools.

Other factors: With affirmative action and other stuff going against me, I think my parents being able to pay for the full tuition weighs a huge factor in my dull and mediocre application. Thank God I come from a well to do family.
