Recs: Head of Science Department taught me 3 years and was my x-country coach, and one from my Math Teacher of 3 years. Both are pretty good. Counselor rec is very good.
Essays: All my essays are pretty good maybe not the best ever, but I think they are pretty good. Counselor thought they were pretty good, and he edited them with me. Can pretty much guarantee no grammatical errors.
I know my GPA is low which is a problem and my writing score is low, but I'm hoping they will be balanced out by the rest of my application.
