[quote=Anonymous]White male. 1390 SAT, 3.76 UW GPA with 12 AP classes. Accepted to school where he was around 50% for grades and test score, but admission rate was 14%, so kind of a lottery. Things that helped: - full pay -ED What the school said helped in admission letter: his essay. Admit letter mentioned specifics from essay. I assume that’s at least partly automated, but it was pretty cool. Also had strong recs, including from an AP teacher who gave him a B first semester and who he initially butted with. He was able to turn that around, and I think she wrote a good rec. Also, DS had a good story about what he planned to major and minor in, both of which were reflected by volunteering he did in high school, which was also what his essay was about. [/quote]
