Essays: Pretty good, probably could have procrastinated less. Talked about my plans to pursue social impact aspects of business inspired by my volunteering and involvement with Diversity Club, such as using marketing to spread messages to further LGBT acceptance
Recomendations: Waived my rights to view. I’m pretty quiet in class, so I don’t know my teachers very well, but they all liked me, so I’m hoping they were decent.
