<p>Decision: ACCEPTED to College of Arts and sciences!!</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT: 800, 780, 740
SAT IIs: 740, 780, 740
GPA: 3.86
Rank: top 10%-ish
Other stats: 6 aps, 5 fives, 1 four</p>

<p>Subjective:</p>

<p>Essays: ummm....it was actually quite sappily bad
Counselor Rec: ahahaha. i think my counselor hates me
Hook: i actually have no idea. umm..prolly some music stuff that actually wasnt that impressive</p>

<p>Location/Person:</p>

<p>State or Country: east coast =)
School Type: Public, but its quite competitive
Ethnicity:Asian
Gender: Female
Perceived Strengths/Weaknesses: strengths - my writing skills arent bad, and im okay academically overall, and i like community service; weaknesses - my ecs were EVERYWHERE and i never stayed w/ one group for more than two years...except for my music thing, which is really a joke, cos im not actually musically gifted or anything
Why you think you were deferred/accepted: well. i believe wash u's computers had a little snafu and sent me the wrong letter, because im pretty sure i wasnt meant to be accepted</p>

<p>Other Factors:
national merit, the music ecs actually look impressive on paper, that ap scholar thing...yeah, im not really all that accomplished at life</p>

<p>General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: YAY!!!! I was in a public place when i found out. I couldn't really scream in front of them, but i did this really happy chair jig. im sure some people thought i was crazy. but i dont actually think im gonna be able to go, cos a state university gave me a VERY generous aid package, and my folks, being asian, will prolly force me into going to the state school unless i get into havard, yale, upenn wharton, or princeton (none of which, incidentally, ive applied to). so to those wait-listees: here's to you getting in!</p>
