<p>General Comments:
Try to make your passion(s) stand out like a sore thumb! I feel like passion is what a lot of schools look for, but only few qualified applicants have. Show that you’re more than a statistic, but of course, great test scores and grades definitely help :P.</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who got in, but sorry to those deferred or rejected.</p>
