My personal statement was about how my family has really pursued the American Dream. Each generation becomes more and more successful than the previous generations.

So once you get that email back saying they can't talk to you have your coach call (preferably your club coach or private instructor) (side note: if you don't play club softball, I'm sorry but there's no shot).
