Other info:
I’m a political refugee.
My family and I moved to the US my sophomore year my previous credits weren’t accepted so I had to restart high school all over again, although I’ll graduate in 3 years I have all my credits done and will have a total of 14 AP classes and 3 honors classes.
I wasn’t aware of gpa/ranking system.

Essays: they’re probably the strongest part of my application. I talked about fleeing and the struggles that I have overcome since moving to the states. I also talked about my life experiences leading me towards my intended career and how clubs and activities (mainly debate) showcase my leadership along with why i have 3 years on my transcript and how i did everything in my power to take challenging courses while doubling up on classes to try to catch up with my peers.

Recs
I added 3 teachers and my counselor
But my counselor and one of my teachers haven’t submitted them yet so I don’t know what’ll happen now that the deadline is over.
