- Teacher Recommendation: outstanding, I thought this was the strongest part of my application.
- Counselor Rec: good, we talk every few days so she really knows me.
- Interview: on-campus with a girl who went to nj gov school for science too. I think I expressed my enthusiasm for yale; I sort of teared up during it.
