Why you think you were accepted/not accepted and general comments: Compared to other applicants from my school, I’m not at the tip top of my class, but I’m at the top and very qualified. I think I was waitlisted and not rejected because as I said, I’m clearly qualified and my essays were really strong as well as my ECs
