Reflection
Strengths: I work really hard? I make friends well, and I help the community around me improve.
Weaknesses: I’m kind of antisocial, so in a new environment I often just make a couple of friends and then distance myself. I don’t really do any sports, and my grades are just good - not the best. I am not that smart…
Why you think you were likely-ified: I actually have no idea. There are so many people more qualified than me who were given possible letters on their EE…
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Deferred to Dartmouth ED, and the rest I’m still waiting for!
