I was rejected from my ED1 school, and really regret not having laf as my ed1.
I have done 1 interview and visited the campus twice and love it. I attend a prestigious all girls school in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, I recognize that my scores and GPA fall short but am hoping that showing interest and extracurriculars may make up for some of this? Please be honest, I don’t want to apply and be rejected again! I’d be applying as an english major.
