[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/
waitlisted/rejected: I think my essays are what helped me most. I think my supplement, while short, reflected the kind of student they were looking for (I found this from talking to others who go there after being accepted, what theyve said is best about the school and matters most to them is almost to the word what I showed about myself. I feel very fortunate, and also excited that this school could in fact be a better fit than I first anticipated).
[li] Where else were you accepted/[/li]waitlisted/rejected: Accepted UArizona Honors, Hampshire, Ursinus, Grinnell. Still waiting on Brown, Haverford, Vassar, and Oberlin.
[/ul]General Comments:</p>
<p>So far, Carleton is tied for cost of attendance with Grinnell and is looking to be my frontrunner. Very excited by the prospect of going there next fall :)</p>
