Reflection
[ul]
[</em>] Strengths: SAT Scores (Highest in my school by a long shot), GPA, Course Load, Ranking, ECs
[<em>] Weaknesses: Essays maybe, Geographic location (Not looked upon well in terms of academics), lack of opportunity for big competitions or awards (My counselor wasn’t completely sure what was meant by National Merit Scholarship Competition, it’s that rare from our area)
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I guess I just didn’t fit with what they wanted. An interview would have been nice, I typically do well in those, especially if they get to see what usually comes out of my area…
