[<em>] Strengths: I think i have a certain level of maturity that may not seem obvious from the way i look, and is definitely not something many 18 year olds have. I have a rather well-rounded profile, with major awards in both sciences and social sciences. I know what i want and i do well at it. I also have a personality. I’m quite funny in person and i know how to make conversations.<br>
[</em>] What you tried to focus on in your application - any hooks you tried to make for yourself: Highlight the well-roundedness. My focus now is definitely on politics/history and english.
[<em>] Weaknesses: I’ve heard that you need intl olympiad prizes for H and i only had one writing competition to my name. I don’t think i’m anything spectacular though. Seriously.
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted: I dont know! Its all a mystery
[li] Where else were you accepted: Harvard, Yale (EA), Princeton (likely), Dartmouth (likely), Georgetown SFS. Those are all that i applied for during RD round, withdrew the rest after EA decision.[/ul][/li]General Comments: I don’t know! I’m really overwhelmed.
