<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT: 2050 (720 CR, 760 W, 570 [BLECH!] M). I have one of the most imbalanced brains in the history of mankind.<br>
[</em>] SAT IIs: 650 Literature, 700 US History.

[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Essays: The college essay editor at my school absolutely loved it, but I thought it seemed sterile. I didn’t use it for any other schools so hopefully my gut won’t fail me!
[<em>] Teacher Recs: Very good.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: Excellent.
[<em>] Hook (if any): In-state might be a factor.
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[</em>] State or Country: PA.
[<em>] School Type: Highly competitive public.
[</em>] Ethnicity: White.
[li] Gender: Female.[/li][/ul]Other Factors: Leadership positions in 7 clubs that I won’t list for the sake of your sanity, four or five other ECs that I only did for one or two years, was an administrative assistant at an Ivy League university, have been published in the Philadelphia Inquirer, have a part-time job, yadda yadda yadda. Pitt doesn’t see my resume so it probably wasn’t a big factor, but for other schools I hope my ECs compensate for my shocking and appalling math scores. General Comments: Hurray! I have a few other schools (including an ED school) that are my top choices, but they’re all schools where admissions are a crapshoot so Pitt is a strong contender. There’s a very high chance that I would have gone had I been accepted into UHC, but alas, my math scores are atrocious so my CR/M SAT is poop. Regardless, it’s nice knowing that I’ve been accepted to a school that I would be happy to attend.</p>
