Reflection

Strengths:Scores higher range for this school, EC’s pretty good
Weaknesses: Missing some leadership, regret not taking Spanish subject test to back up essay. Stuff kinda out of my control: not first gen college, not legacy
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted: Pretty solid application, interview went great, essay was pretty good. Scores were descent.
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted: Accepted at Creighton, waiting on Duke, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Washu, and Cornell.

General comments
After being denied by Stanford, I had a minor fear that due to applying mainly to top-tier schools, I had left myself very vulnerable and this acceptance gave me a wonderful back-bone and confidence. Wonderful school, if I don’t get accepted anywhere else, I will be quite content.
