Reflection[ul]
[</em>] Strengths: My outstanding uniqueness…? 
[<em>] Weaknesses: Extracurriculars, SATS.
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted: Must have been my portfolio, or recommendations, or my essay. I was sure they’d reject me because of my lack of extracurriculars and horrible SAT scores.
[li] Where else were you accepted:[/ul] UMASS Amherst, SUNY ESF, SUNY Delhi, Le Moyne, Siena, University at Buffalo. No rejections/waitlisted[/li]General Comments: I seriously cannot believe I got accepted! I literally imploded when I saw my acceptance online last Thursday. Cornell has been my dream school for a long time now. My advice to future Cornell applicants: absolutely do not go by my stats for they are amazingly horrible. I mean, look at those SAT scores! I was sure I’d get rejected. But by some miracle I had gotten accepted. Don’t give up on your dreams, kids!</p>
