Reflection[list][*] Strengths: Academics are really strong, I have some leaderships roles, I am in our inaugral class of IB at our school[*] Weaknesses: I never thought I was a stand-out applicant. My SAT II's are good, not great, and compared to some of you guys (I don't know how you do it) I don't do that much extracurricularly[*] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I have no clue. I really think this whole thing is kind of like the lottery. There are so many of you that are so qualified and what ever you do, don't let this get your hopes down. I really never dreamed this would happen!
General Comments: Good Luck! Y'all have been so supportive of me and everyone else through this stressful time. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers and I will keep you in mine
P.S. Sorry I couldn't format this thing correctly
