Decision:Waitlisted???

Subjective:
  • Essays: surprisingly good, I used part of my commonapp essay but related it to my religious faith

Location/Person:
  • State or Country: md/dc

  • major strength/weakness: only real weakness is gpa
  • why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: no idea. I am so glad that I was accepted elsewhere before I had to deal with this though. I'm completely fine with it and not going to accept my waitlist spot because I'm deciding between two other schools, but I might have died if I had gotten this first because I thought I had a real good shot.
  • going to attend? nopee
