Recommendations (rating 1-10, details):

Teacher Rec #1: 8; it was from my English teacher who prob knows how to write a good letter.
Teacher Rec #2: 6; my math teacher who taught me all 4 years.
Counselor Rec: 9; my counselor really likes me and tells me that she’s been planning what to write since I was in 6th grade. Has some cute stories about my passions and stuff
Interview: I’m not really sure how this went. The lady was middle aged, and she seemed to like me decently enough but I can’t really gauge what she thought about what I had to say. Also, she was kind of in a rush and wanted to leave to do something so I didn’t get to ask her all the questions I had.

Reflection: Honestly, I thought I had a chance. I’m kinda bummed but also I’m not taking it as badly as I thought I would (no tears!..yet). I know I’ll be fine wherever I go but… damn I really like DC! Anyways, this result kinda turned me off of GT; I guess I’ll focus my attention on other schools.

Strengths: Extracurriculars, activities, essays (maybe)
Weaknesses: SAT II, also I don’t have anything that’s too crazy (no big job at politician’s office, etc.)
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted: I guess I just didn’t stand out anywhere. No part of my application was super phenomenal. Also, just looking off other results, I feel like GT accepts people with specific types of extracurriculars like community service or politics/government.
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted: Only heard back from my state school and Tulane (accepted to both)

General comments:
Sad but things will go on. Congrats to everyone that got in, and good luck to people who haven’t heard back yet (I know… the letters process is so frustrating)!
