<p>Reflection</p>
<p>Strengths: Test Scores (ACT), School Involvement, Essays - honesty is the best policy. I showed passion and I didn’t want acceptance so I could say “I got into Stanford.”
Weaknesses: Test Scores (SAT), CommonApp Essay - I waited until the night before…
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I showed passion for what I want to do and related that passion to Stanford. I also think that Stanford appreciates hard work and by sharing my town’s demographics in my essay I think they got a sense of “wow this kid started from the bottom now he’s here.”
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Ohio State University (accepted), Ohio University (accepted), University of Dayton (accepted), New York University (accepted), Georgetown University (accepted).</p>
<p>General Comments: I still haven’t committed to a school. I was accepted to Georgetown EA and I really didn’t even think Stanford would be an option. GU and SU are definitely my top two but I have no idea which to choose. I’m a bio/pre-med major by the way.</p>
