[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[</em>] Strengths: Academics, I guess?
[<em>] Weaknesses: My extracurriculars were pretty weak :{
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted: I had pretty strong test scores/a strong GPA, and (luckily) I guess that outweighed my almost nonexistent after school activities. My essay was also pretty strong.
[/ul]General Comments: I am super excited! Willamette seems like a pretty good school, so it’s a huge relief to have their acceptance under my belt. Plus, they gave me a 22,000 dollar/year scholarship, so that’s pretty awesome. :smiley:
Good luck, everyone.</p>
