Essays:
Common App: 9/10. Very in-depth story about the relationship between my autistic brother and me.
UNC: 8/10. I feel like they were well-written, funny, cohesive essays that was just me being me, but nothing absolutely mind-blowing.

Recommendations:
Teacher Rec. #1: 10/10. My Stats teacher who has caused everyone who has read the essay to cry.
Teacher Rec. #2: 9/10. My Spanish teacher. I’m apparently the best-speaking student he’s ever had.
Counselor Rec.: 8/10. I’ve had a lot of face-time with my counselor to work out schedules and things.
Additional Rec.: 8/10. From my football coach who says that I’m the smartest player he’s ever coached, but it’s not very specialized.

Other:
State: NC BABY
School Type: Large Public
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Male
Intended Major: Mathematical Decision Sciences
Hooks: None to speak of

Strengths: Rank/weighted and course load, I also thought my ECs were meaningful too.
Weaknesses: My SAT for in-state is above average, but it could have certainly been better; my essays were not the greatest things ever, although I will credit them with being authentic and honest with who I am and how I think.
Why you think you were accepted/rejected/deferred: Being in state is the only reason I got in. I’ve seen the data, and it’s true. Period. Thanks for allowing me to vent on this forum, everyone! Let’s keep the admissions season going strong!
