Short Personal Story
"It wasn't really a big deal. My parents donated a bunch of money there and they both went there so it was kind of expected that I would get in.
I think I barely looked at the email when it came in to be honest because it didn't really matter that much. I kind of knew it was going to happen so I didn't sweat it.
I actually remember being pretty annoyed with how late they released it. It came in I want to say mid December and that kind of pissed me off because I had to wait so long. I already knew that I was getting in, why did they have to wait so long to tell me. The admissions office should have called me and told me earlier."
Useful Advice
"If I were giving out advice, I'd say that you just need to be good at something.
If you're average at everything you're going to have a really tough time getting in. But, if you're good at something at least you sort of stand out from other people.
For me, what I think helped was the fact that I was really good at sports and applied that to other parts of my life. I think that if someone has that leadership ability in some club or activity and is able to have that position in other clubs, it'll go a long way in setting them apart from everyone."
