Why you think you were accepted/not accepted and general comments: Did not expect to get in, as there is nothing about me that really stands out too much. However, I did get to meet with a professor in my intended major department which A) helped me write the Why NU, B) helped me decide on applying ED, and C) showed a ton of demonstrated interest. Highly recommend reaching out to professors as they (in my experience) are welcoming and friendly. Go cats!
