Congrats!!
If you don't mind me asking, do you think it was the softs or what other components made you stand out?
If i had to answer I think it was that I had a strong theme throughout my application. But I should also mention thatI am URM.
You know I have been absolutely dismayed at the negativity shown towards URMs in these threads. But why should I, this is what folks do when they can hide behind anonymity. You should be ashamed of how you essentially just boiled this person's hard work and accomplishments down to just their URM status. Jealousy can be shown in so many ways and that should not be the spirit of these threads.
Very well said !
+10000. In HS, I was told it was aa when I got into my ivy undergrad. In grad school, someone said it was aa when I got a scholarship for my M.A. Let alone not knowing my scores, etc.
Sick of the constant belittlement especially on this thread. Especially because we deal with it our entire lives. Especially because URMs have lower percentages of acceptance - check out MS9's data compared to whites.
Congrats on getting in, don't let anyone dull your accomplishments. There are hundreds of URMs rejected, you deserve it.
