Weaknesses: SAT 1 and SAT 2s </p>

<p>Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:</p>

<p>My SATs weren’t very high - maybe if I scored better I would have gotten accepted. My GPA isn’t the highest but the highest possible GPA at my school is a 4.1, and I had a 3.91. I had good ECs and essays. I visited campus before I applied and once I visited in February I was underwhelmed. I know it’s an awesome school so I was expecting an awesome campus as well … just didn’t feel like my vibe. Would have been cool to get accepted, though. Guess I’m a little bitter because this is the only school that I applied to and didn’t get accepted to. Whatever, their loss. I’m going to my first choice, Chapman University. Congrats to all those who got in and are going to attend. Not accepting my spot on the wait list, either.</p>
