[</em>] Essays: The people I had read my essay thought it was goodmostly because it showed my personality. I think Im just ok at writing, but what I liked about it was how it showed who I am.
[<em>] Teacher Recommendation: Both the teachers I asked are people who I believe like me as a person and a student. But, I didnt see them, so I cant say for sure.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Well, I spent a lot of time in my counselors office talking about college, so she got to know me pretty well, and she told me about some of the stuff that she put in, so it sounded pretty good. But I never saw the letter.

[</em>] Interview: Good interview, I think, I asked a lot of questions and my interviewer made positive comments (said he liked that I asked a lot of questions, etc.). Did have a few slightly awkward moments when I didnt know how to answer a question and when I thought he had a different job than he actually did, though. Sent a thank-you note after the interview (I hear this is a very good idea).

<p>No need to accept… it’s ED, so you don’t have a choice. I’m sure the materials they send you later will include some confirmation, but you’re committed. To get out of it you’d have to call admissions and present a good argument explaining why it is not financially feasible for you to attend.</p>

[li] Where else were you accepted/deferred:[/ul] None[/li]General Comments:
Quite honestly, I was pretty bummed because I definitely “stood out” from my peers at school. While my GPA was rather low for what they regularly accept, the fact that I am a white girl that loves Math and Physics seemed like a big bonus. Also- I attended an American school in Spain for my Junior year, and learned to speak Spanish proficiently. The school taught at honors level pace. Four of my classes were in Spanish (Spanish History, Art History, Advanced Spanish Language AP, and Political science) and two were in English (Calc, English-lit) However, I must not complain. A GPA is a measure of someone’s hard work during two years of their high school career, and that’s undeniable.</p>
<p>And they only took one girl who got in without athletics involved. She has a 3.95 GPA. Beyond that she seems like a very talented writer.</p>
