Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: got lucky? the fact that i’m in state is a huge pull. my essays were interesting, too, to say the least.
General Comments: lol please don’t be like me and wait until the week before the deadline to write all your essays, and then have no one proofread them. i got lucky. my advice: be authentic, relax, and don’t force yourself to do things just because it will look good. by all means, please challenge yourself, but do what you enjoy.
