Rank: 40/475 (in top 10%)
Other stats: N/A</p>

<p>Subjective:
Essay: I consider it one of the better pieces of writing I’ve ever written. I loved what I wrote it on too, and I’m thinking that probably got through okay to the admissions office.
Hook (if any): -shrugs- Not particularly? Well, no… my dad has a lot of close friends who went to State, particularly for resource management and conservation, so I got some stellar letters of recommendation. </p>

<p>Location/Person:
State or Country: Michigan
School Type: Public, meh-sized (~1800 students)
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Gender: Female</p>

<p>Other Factors: To be honest, I have no idea. I wasn’t born in Michigan, and none of my extended family lives here, so I don’t have any relatives who went to State… I’m thinking maybe they just liked my grades? I don’t mind. This is a great school, and the way everything in my admissions process has fallen out with them, I’ve fallen in love with them. They successfully wooed me. Woohoo! </p>

<p>General Comments: I’m in the Academic Scholars Program, and I applied September 30th, and heard back that I was in October 10th. I’ll never forget it, most scream-filled moment in my entire life; my parents almost took the house down :)</p>
