Reflection
Strengths: High GPA, recommendations, okay SAT score…
Weaknesses: few extracurricular activities. I think I have few more important things that should be included in the application, but I had little time to fill it up.
Why you think you were accepted: Leadership, Academic achievement, and constant effort.
Where else were you accepted: Up to now, UW Madison.
Applied to Michigan Ann Arbor, UC Berkeley, UC LA, UIUC, but haven’t heard any from those schools yet.

General Comments:
I started my app two days before when it was due, so definitely I was rushing I’m happy that it turned out great and I’m pretty excited about next year. Well, I don’t feel anything special, though. I still study all night long, do all my homework, and get all As.
