Essays: Thought they were pretty good and demonstrated my interest in Mudd. My friends said they were pretty funny, so maybe I was a bit too light-hearted.
Rec. Letters: Favorable, both teachers love me but may have acknowledged that my work ethic isn’t too great.
Awards: National Merit Finalist (PSAT 223), Performed well @ Local Math / Quiz Bowl competitions, Did well in a statewide programming tournament.
Not gonna lie, even though I knew the chances were slim I’m still pretty bummed. Nevertheless, it’s good to have a final decision. Good luck to everyone lurking, and congratulations to those who got in.
