Hello, @Capt MJ made the suggestion that I make a thread that tells what I think put me over the top for this year. So, here it goes...

I don’t think that there is one specific thing that got me an appointment. Rather, I think it’s a combination of things. The first being is I am a minority that comes from a single parent home. Now I’m not saying that I was shown special favor or anything but I know that they do take diversity factors into account. (Otherwise they wouldn’t ask about them...) The second thing being my academics improved significantly. In high school I was never good a math. Here at MMI I received an A in Algebra for Calculus. This showed them the improvements that I had made and that I could also handle college academics. Finally, I started running XC this year. In high school I played NO SPORTS. I think that fact that I had walked on to a college athletic team with no prior high school athletics showed them that I was willing to do whatever it took to get in.

Please feel free to ask questions about anything!
