<p>Reflection
Strengths: Self studying is probably the biggest one. Involvement in many different areas of study.
Weaknesses: My essays were not great at all.
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I’m guessing my self study had a big influence. My school only offers one AP class and a few honors. I actually self-studied all my APs, so I think that really helped.
What would you have done differently?: I would have probably spent more time studying than actually stay on facebook or cc :stuck_out_tongue:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations, etc:
Congrats everyone! I’m really looking forward to next fall! Good luck to all those applying next year!</p>
