How I got into a competitive school with a 1410 SAT and weak ECs

Thank you for your responses! I understand that the admissions process is very unpredictable, but I also know that ECs are extremely important. Mine were far from impressive, but I believe that I presented them in the best light that I possibly could which was most likely a reason why I made it all the way to acceptance. With the competition these days, every little thing counts. I think it is extremely important to consider the presentation of your application and be aware of how you will be perceived in terms of tone and personality. Most of the time admissions officers go off their “gut feeling”, and usually don’t dwell on applications for too long. I think they probably just had a good feeling about me from my application and went with it. @lostaccount @intparent @mwolf
