why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think I’m a good “fit” for the school. I love learning but I’m laid back and not really cut-throat.

Wesleyan isn’t my absolute first choice but I am really happy and taken aback about being accepted, just because my gpa was so awful and I can imagine myself fitting in there and having a lovely college experience.</p>
