<p>Subjective:</p>
<pre><code>* Essays: I wrote about my sister’s nearly fatal car accident and how it ignited my interest in health. I know it’s cliche, but I really put my heart into this essay.
Teacher Recs: Calculus teacher said I was the top 1% of his math students in entire career. History teacher loves me. Another math teacher that hosts our math team wrote a really personal recommendation for me. I can’t say how great they all were since I never saw them, but I’m assuming they were great.
Counselor Rec: Generic at best.
Hook (if any): Male? from Texas? No legacy. No URM. Not 1st Gen college student. How’d I get in? lol.

I spent all week preparing for rejection and all Friday trying to figure out why I was accepted. I am done questioning it now though, all that matters is that I was accepted.</p>[/li]
