Weaknesses- No real national awards, didn’t send SATs
Strengths- No parents in high school? Alabama?(this could be a weakness)
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Honestly no idea, maybe just because of my unique family situation. Unique major?
Where else you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Auburn University lol, but I’m so excited. Columbia 2018!!! For those of you who got in, look foward to seeing you there. For those who didn’t, don’t stress too much. There’s plenty of other great schools!</p>
