I’d be glad to tell you the factors that I believe led me to get wait-listed:
-I lacked any sort of science ECs
-Lack of demonstrated passion for STEM anywhere on my app
-GPA favored social sciences and English courses
-Didn’t take a rigorous science course sequence
-My math score was the lower part of my combined SAT score
Finally, I think the tipping factor was that I didn’t fit the model for a normal student there. I’m much more of an artsy student who does theatre, and choir and definitely showed that on my application and essay, in fact I’m certain it allowed me to get admitted to Geneseo! So it’s tremendously important to show the adcoms that you would personally fit into their school.
