[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: Back in October I got one of the Travel Grants to go visit campus (probably because of my ACT scores…), and I think that demonstrated interest really helped me stand out
[/ul]Other Factors: General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: I really was not expecting decisions to come out today! I was accepted to UNC EA, and while they are both great schools UNC is noticeably cheaper, so unless I get some nice moolah from WUStL (which does not seem likely considering I don’t qualify for FinAid and I wasn’t a finalist for any of the scholarships) I will most likely not be attending next year.</p>

[<em>] Perceived Strengths/Weaknesses: My Critical Reading score was too low, I thought, but apparently my TOEFL score saved me from outright rejection (?).
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: I think my extra curricular activities were what got me in. I co-founded a non-profit organization to “promote music appreciation among children in poverty.” I also founded my school’s swim team. I have been playing piano and swimming for 12 years (since I was 5). That definitely showed my tremendous passion for the two activities. I am currently a youth leader at local library (and have been doing so for the past 4 years).</p>
<p>I also work 6 hours a week to help new immigrants with language acquisition.

<p>For those waitlisted, don’t be disappointed! Keep your hope up! For those rejected, don’t let that rejection define who you are. I am very sure that you will end up at somewhere great. And I mean it.</p>
<p>You know, I genuinely felt like I was going to get in.</p>
<p>Even though WashU wasn’t my top choice, I feel like this is a majjjjjooorrr harbinger of doom for the end of this month. I mean, if WashU won’t take me, why would HYPS?</p>
