[] Weaknesses: GPA and standardized testing scores. GPA average was pretty low compared to senior year 3.86 when I studied much harder.

Accepted: Occidental, Wake Forest, Emory, Franklin & Marshall, Boston U, Drexel, Brandeis, UC Irvine
Rejected: Claremont McKenna, Duke, WUSTL, UCLA, UC Berkeley
Waiting: Brown
