<p>General Comments:
GPA was in the gutter, but it was just in sophomore year. SATs were pretty good. Also had a lot of ecs. also i think i write well. maybe. lol. </p>
<p>Also, I’ve focused on biology for nearly a decade. Don’t try to be a Renaissance person, find what you are passionate about, dive deep, and excel at it. </p>
<p>But also, Congratulations to everyone who was accepted!</p>
