Wow...you guys have impressive stats.

I got admitted and my stats aren't impressive compared to you guys

Congrats to all for making it though

rebeccaramirez

just proves that one should really apply to those "reach" schools:
1960 SAT
about a 3.0, give or take, unweighted
took ap world and dropped second semester
took ap us, what a joke of a class, got a b in the class but a 1 on the test
taking ap calculus, i have a great teacher and am doing pretty good
but compared to all of you...

The thing is, I can write. I made it clear that my highschool education was uninspiring and mediocre at best. I truly do love learning, creating, imagining. I believe I was accpeted because of my words, not my stats. My essay was pretty cool, incredibly well written. You guys have intimidating statistics. It will be fun trying to keep up
