Reflection
Strengths: The objective
Weaknesses: The subjective
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Great question. Probably because my essays were subpar and my EC’s were not up to Williams’ standards.
General Comments: Super bummed! Williams is my first choice, so it is disappointing that they deferred me.
