Strengths: GPA, SAT II, Essay and Recs

Weaknesses: Volunteering and Extracurriculars weren’t anything special

Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I visited there and I displayed a lot of interest in the university and expressed interest in research, so I think they really liked that

Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted at Indiana University, Purdue, Ohio State, and U of Louisville. Waiting to hear back from Wellesley and Smith

Case is my main backup if I don’t get into Wellesley. So I’m really happy I got into such a good science university!!
