General Comments : This is not worth the stress it causes, and I saw my overqualified, hardworking, asian friend get rejected in favour of a kid who has decent grades and scores but eh but whose parents were big donors 
It’s bs. If you were accepted, yay! If not, remember: the system works so that you’re guaranteed that all the kids accepted are smart … but you’re not guaranteed that all of the smart kids will be accepted. Good luck to you all.
