Reflection

Weaknesses: letters
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think I stacked up pretty average against everyone else, but my brother connection just pushed me over.
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Pitt (GAP dental) and Case

General Comments: This was the only school I applied to early but not sure if I’ll commit since out of state is so expensive and UVA is pretty stingy with FA (per experience) hoped this helped!
