<p>[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Essays: everyone who read my essays for me really seemed to like my main common app essay. it was about genealogy/my father’s death. my activity essay was pretty rushed, but i think it turned out pretty good in the end. it was about bowling. my short essays on the supplement were okay, but nothing amazing.
[</em>] Teacher Recs: i did not read it, but i assume it was pretty good.
[<em>] Counselor Rec: i saw this one - it was very generic. but it was positive. he marked “most demanding schedule” and checked the “outstanding” box for all the ratings.
[</em>] Extracurriculars: my main extracurriculars were researching my genealogy and doing a sports medicine internship. i also did bowling for three years, and took classes every summer. i also work about 20 hours a week, starting december 2007.

<p>Just got my pacakage today. Dean’s Scholar, $8000 a year.
Invited to the “special” admitted students weekend as well.</p>

8

<p>nice. i hope i get my package on monday.</p>

9

<p>yay I got my email yesterday! Same one as all of yours with the merit money :)</p>

10

<p>Is anyone else loving their website as much as I am? </p>

<p>The conversation and profile sections are so fun! It’s making me like L & C even more. Smart idea on their part, I think.</p>

11

<p>yeah, it’s a good idea.</p>

12

<p>so is it pretty much for sure that people got emails also got some kind of merit money?</p>

13

<p>Decision: Accepted!!!</p>

<p>Date Applied: Early Nov…I was an EA applicant
Date Accepted: by email in mid Dec, with my admissions packet arriving a week later.</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<pre><code>* SAT: did not take

  • ACT: 28
  • SAT IIs: none
  • GPA: 3.4 unweighted, school doesn’t weigh
  • Rank: top 50%. i am in a very small graduating class of about 12 kids. As such, my school doesn’t really claim to rank, and tells the colleges that any student applies to not look at rank very closely.
    </code></pre>

<p>Subjective:</p>

<pre><code>* Essays: Everyone I showed them to loved them. I actually sent in two essays, as my teachers and GC felt that “both highlight very different, yet genuine facets of you.” Writing is my thing, I guess. I wrote about an experience I had abroad in Japan and another about the various tea flavors that exist in my pantry, and how different teas are associated with different moods I have.

  • Teacher Recs: Good, I guess.
  • Counselor Rec: My GC showed me his rec. I thought it was thoughtful and personal. Pretty good, I’d say.
  • Extracurriculars: I’ve been heavily involved in the visual arts for many years, and have been a member of the National Art Honor Society for 3 years. I became Vice President of NAHS this year. I’ve done alot with galleries and art festivals around town, and have done community service through the arts. I’ve also studied the Japanese language independently for 2 years, and studied abroad in Japan this past summer.
  • Interview: I had a very good interview. I think this is actually one of the main reasons I got in. She was very much interested in my academic interests and the like. I want to study Int’l Affairs, and this is LCs strong point, so I think she noted that. She even remembered me on a second visit I made to campus, and also when she visited my school.
  • Hook (if any): Idk…I guess my creative essays and interview?
    </code></pre>

<p>Location/Person:</p>

<pre><code>* State or Country: AZ

  • School Type: private, small, quite rigorous
  • Ethnicity: caucasian.
  • Gender: male
    </code></pre>

<p>Other Factors/Hook?: nothing besides the aforementioned material…</p>

<p>Scholarships: nope</p>

<p>General Comments: This was my first acceptance, and has kindof been a safety net for me. LC is my back up school of sorts for the moment, but I like it quite a bit. I won’t be able to make a proper decision until I hear from the other places I applied to. Oh, and to all prospective applicants: MAKE SURE YOU INTERVIEW! It helped me a ton!</p>

<p>My D was accepted EA. Today she received an terrific FA package. It’s going to be hard to choose. :)</p>

15

<p>Accepted by email.</p>

16

<p>I got my acceptance letter in the mail today, and it says to use the ID number from the e-mail to sign in to “inside L&C”.</p>

<p>I never got the e-mail. ??</p>

17

<p>My D hasn’t heard anything either.</p>

18

<p>that’s strange junglebrain. did you check your spam folder?</p>

19

<p>Yep. And now that I look, I don’t think I’ve gotten any e-mails from Lewis and Clark at all. They probably made a mistake with my address or something.</p>

20

<p>actually i don’t think i got any before i got accepted either. hmm.</p>

<p>did you get the dean’s scholarship?</p>
