- Strengths: my passion for the things I do/participate in was evident in my essays...
- Weaknesses: typo on the word "psychology" in one part of common app with the current year course load (it was correct everywhere else on the app, so it was obvious that it was intially a typo)....other than that, it's difficult to objectively evaluate myself
- Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: only God knows why...
[ b]General Comments:[/b]...thank God for blessing me with acceptance to yale...i think it is a place where I can further explore myself and hope to grow as a person...congratulations to those accepted and I'm sure God has a plan for those who were deferred or rejected
