Essays/LORs/Other
Common app essay- everyone who read it said it was good, its very niche and it really feels like me!
I barley started my supplemental yet but i have a great idea for it!
LOR is def strong- from my soph year chem teacher we had a good bond
i rly don’t know how to put the 89 onto a 4.0 scale. my guess would be that it’s right around very very close to a 3.7. and don’t worry i def have backups. i just am hearing very diff things about if i wld be admitted or not so its scary
