<p>Question:
Is it possible that the school I applied to had a significant impact on my chances of getting a scholarship interview offer? I applied to Annenberg and although my academics are top notch, my essays went through many edits, and my extracurriculars are competitive enough, I’ve done much less journalism than the Annenberg kids I read about on the accepted thread. Was it maybe a mistake to apply as a journalism major? I know there’s nothing I can do about it now, but I’m looking for something concrete to blame my rejection on so I don’t spend the next two months wondering whether a fatal flaw in my common app has doomed all my college prospects.</p>
