Note

I'M SO EXCITED. Only applied to four schools. Huge gamble, but it paid off. Things that worked in my favor: Several national and international awards, including Gates Cambridge and Goldwater; REUs at Harvard and MIT, very strong letters, graduated summa cum laude. Things that worked against me: Not so stellar GRE scores.
