Waitlist

Stats:

Subjective

Essays: recycled Chicago essay...decent, but they could probably tell it wasn't written for the "community" prompt
Teacher Recs: dunno.
Counselor Rec: dunno.
Supplementary Material: nope
Hook: (recruited athlete, cured cancer- only major ones that actually would have made a difference, please)

Personal

Other

Extracurriculars: Council, NHS, Science Olympiad, Mock Trial, some leadership in NHS and SO
Awards: NM, local stuff.
Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: eh. I thought I could make it through the admissions process with no WLs, just rejections and acceptances. I can deal with a rejection, but the uncertainty of a waitlist? meh.
