Reflection
[li] Strengths: Teacher rec, essays, overall emphasis of how much I wanted to go there and specific details about Northwestern in my app[/li][] Weaknesses: Volunteer work, test scores
[] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think I am overall pretty well rounded, my essays were very specific towards NU
[] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted to MSU
**General Comments: I am very surprised I was accepted. I did not think my scores were high enough or I had enough ECs. Northwestern has always been my first choice and I am thrilled to be part of the class of 2016. **
