<p>Reflection
Strengths: Involved in lots of community service & religious things at my school which I’m assuming BC liked. Did well on ACTs. Extra curricular activity resume was 3 pages long.
Weaknesses: SATs not so high.
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Shocked I got accepted because I didn’t get into Villanova! But maybe because I held a lot of leadership positions at my high school, GPA, ACTs.
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted to Providence College, Fordham, Loyola Maryland, Fairfield, Quinnipiac; Waitlisted at Villanova & Holy Cross.
General Comments: Congrats everyone! Can’t wait to meet you awesome people in the fall :D</p>
