Reflection
Strengths: Test scores, “difficult” classes.
Weaknesses: Many, but from the pov of Case, maybe my senior year grades, they slipped to all Bs (but I know people who got in who have done worse, so maybe not that.) very unimpressive ECs
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: test scores and hardish classes
Where else you are applying or have already applied: scary ones that I have no right applying to and will likely get rejected from. Rejected from MIT, accepted into OSU honors w/ maximus (rejected from eminence)
General Comments/Advice/Hindsight: none, really. I think if you work hard at school and use your extra time on something, you have a really good chance.
