Reflection[ul]
[</em>] Strengths: I think I was very well rounded, but not extremely special in any category. I think my essay was the strongest part of my application, but I have no idea what the admissions officers were actually thinking.
[<em>] Weaknesses: ACT scores, grades
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Definitely because of low test scores and grades, because I feel Princeton wants to make sure it’s students are academically prepared for its rigor.
[li] Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted @ University of Vermont[/li][/ul]
General Comments:
It wasn’t unexpected; I would’ve been surprised if I was either accepted or rejected though. Congratulations to those who were accepted and condolences to those who were rejected! Although we may not think it now, I do believe that we will end up where we belong.</p>
