[/ul]General Comments/Additional Information:[list] Very happy that my first major decision was an acceptance! Go Tritons!
I was accepted to Eleanor Roosevelt College. My plans have totally changed since I applied so I’ll be switching my major to Political Science (Public Policy) or a Sociology major.
In hindsight: this really is holistic. Focus on doing the best you can in everything you do and showing your passion. I think I got in because of my numbers, but also because I let my passions and story show in my overall application. Best of luck!
Congrats to everyone that got in! I’m as excited as all of you? But just out of curiosity, does anyone know of anyone that actually got rejected/waitlisted? Because all of my friends and classmates got in, even some that I didn’t expect, though I could have been just seriously underestimating them, as I do. Just curious
