<p>General Comments:[ul]
[*] Congratulations to all who got accepted. I was really excited when I got accepted to UIUC because it was the first college I’ve ever got into. Although I think NYU would be more advantageous to me as a film major, I feel honored to be offered a spot in such a prestigious college. I was unsure about UIUC because I thought my EC’s were mediocre and essays weren’t that good, but I’m happy that I got accepted.[/ul]</p>
