[li]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: Just want to say how shocked I am. Here on CC everyone makes it seem like high SAT scores and rank are the only ways in but I prove that it is possible! I believe I was accepted because of my personality in my essays and during my interview. Congrats to everyone! Lets hope my financial aid package is nice…[/li][/ul]</p>
