Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: honestly I really think it was a matter of fit- I’m the head of the gender equality club and I’m taking a class of racism classism and sexism in America- these are things that Scripps really focuses on in its equality and diversity efforts. Also the geographic diversity of being from the east coast may have helped as well.
Where else were you accepted/deferred/rejected: haven’t heard back from anyone else
