[]Weaknesses: My volunteer and community service work is virtually non-existent due to family obligations, and my decision to not take a 4th year science to double up on math might be detrimental.
[]Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: My main essay is probably the best thing I’ve ever written and my GPA and test scores are very competitive.
