Essays: I am generally fairly strong with my essay writing, and my teachers that reviewed them said that they were very good.

Strengths: I have a solid ACT and my essays were pretty good.
Weaknesses: My GPA is lower than many out of state students, but that is something beyond my control. Our school is too small for a large AP program or to have an IB program. I have the highest possible GPA I could earn in the school I go to. I don’t have many leadership roles.
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: I think I was deferred because admissions is looking to see if I am in the top 18% of the OOS students or not. I’m right on the edge.
