<p>Decision: Accepted
John Muir College
Political Science: Political Theory</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<pre><code>* SAT: 2180
* SAT IIs: 700 MathIIC & 740 US History
* GPA: 3.75 W, 3.6 UW
* Rank: My school does not rank
</code></pre>

<p>Subjective:</p>

<pre><code>* Essays: I write for fun so I assume they're above par.
* Hook (if any): Wrote about not only attending a debate camp but also coordinating one of my own. I also elaborated on some personal hardships.
</code></pre>

<p>Location/Person:</p>

<pre><code>* State or Country: CA
* School Type: Public
* Ethnicity: Korean
* Gender: Male
</code></pre>

<p>Other Factors:</p>

<pre><code>* Extracurriculars: Newspaper, Debate Team, and Church Ministries
* Why I think I was accepted/deferred: My SAT probably offset the low GPA. And the fact that I'm the Editorial Editor on the Newspaper, Debate Team Captain, and 1st and 3rd in the county in two debate formats doesn't hurt either.
</code></pre>

<p>major strength: President and Captain of the Debate Team and Editorial Editor on the Newspaper. High rankings in the county probably helped me out alot.</p>

<p>major weakness: GPA</p>

I'm a bit confused, so please help! Here are my stats. please tell me what you think. </p>
