Really excellent recommendations...a world-famous physisist/nun who taught HIMPT and AP Calc, my principle who has a PhD from Harvard and teaches my Bioethics Class, and my English III teachers who is a great writer and absolutely loves me.

My common app essay is a personal reflection on why I chose psychology/philosophy...about a friend who I tried to help but ended up in rehab, and how I want to reconcile myself by helping others.

Also, my aunt and uncle both graduated from BU.

So what do you think?

It might if someone recognizes your name and it would be better than some other HUGE no name program but in general the fact that you did it at all should be sufficient.
