Subjective

Essays: I thought they were pretty good, maybe too much about school ( I did the community one though..) and I did all the optional ones and tried to make it clear that MIT is my first choice
Teacher Recs:Pretty good I think.. definitely describe me as a person, not just as a student
Counselor Rec:Should be pretty good but I haven't seen it.
Supplementary Material: None, probably a mistake, didn't even send a resume beyond the 5 extracurriculars on the app, but I will now. Also probably should have made a flute recording
Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): None really, I should have contacted the field hockey coach but i'm not sure that I want to play in college.

Personal

Location: Suburban NY
High School Type: Private(secular), very selective
Ethnicity: White

Other

Extracurriculars: I have alot but I only listed 5 on the app because I thought they didn't want resumes... whatever I'll send the rest in now and I've actually done alot since I sent the app in so that's good I guess
Awards: School Comp Sci award, National Merit Semifinalist, AP Scholar
Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: I'm pretty upset about it.
