Additional info?
One additional rec from a professor I worked with in COSMOS..He's a Princeton grad
My two teachers have good stuff to say on rec letters. We know each other really well. One is of them is the only Stanford grad teacher in our school.
Our school is complete CRAP...no joke...around 6 people break a 2000 on the SAT each year...teachers have below a 40% passing rate for AP classes....we send about 5 people to UC Berkeley each year...no one's gotten into MIT and Yale for the past 10 years...maybe one person into Stanford each year....
Just this year, one of our school's teacher was arrested in charge of sexually assaulting a minor...and our Chief custodian is forced to quit his job for sexual charged against model minors...
I studied ALL my elementary years back in India. I came to America in middle school, so I guess that's a plus? That's why my CR score kinda sucks...
