<p>[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[<em>] Strengths: Test scores. Senior year courseload. Strong recommendations.
[</em>] Weaknesses: GPA isn’t flawless. Educational interruption. Common App essay was a good fit for several of the schools I’m applying to, but decidedly NOT a good fit for case.
[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: No idea. Possibly because homeschooled. If it’s not too conceited, I’d say because the college is playing the numbers game. Possibly due to request for financial aid. Being a white male probably wasn’t doing me any favors either.[/li][/ul]</p>
