I was waitlisted by Case Western this morning, so I guess I’m headed to my state flagship’s honors program. I was accepted to WashU but didn’t receive any financial aid. I suppose saving money will be a positive for grad school, but I can’t help but feel really disappointed with how I’ve fared with college admissions.
Here are a few of my stats: 3.80 GPA, 34 ACT, Top 5% class rank, nationally-ranked for my sport, nationally-recognized nonprofit work, solid internships each summer, extensive in-school leadership in a couple clubs, and national/international awards.
