Subjective- Essays: I think my main essay was awesome--I wrote how I lost an important school election and then rebounded from it. The point of the essay was to show my resilience and determination.
- Teacher Recs: I'm pretty sure they were great, especially my Humanities rec.
- Counselor Rec: Most likely GREAT. He and I really get along.

- Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): Mostly my character and resolve to make a difference in the world (and that was no B.S.) I was the Student Government Tech Director during Junior year and did a LOT of stuff with computers.

Reason why I think I got deferred: While I think I met all of their criteria for the "match" between me and MIT, I never entered any competitions and never won major academic awards. Had I done some of that, I think I would've gotten in.
