Recommendations: Obviously I don’t know how good the recommendations will be but I can provide what I believe will be close estimates
AP Lang Teacher - Probably 10/10. It was my favorite class and I showed it. I was one of her favorite students and also did well in the class.
APUSH Teacher - Anywhere from 7/10 to 9/10 - He was super nice to everyone and was a very energetic and passionate teacher, but it was hard to read how much he truly liked you. I did very well in the class.
Counselor Recommendation: 7/10. Unfortunately, my old guidance counselor left to take an administrative position at another school. He and I got along very well and he knew me well. My new counselor is very kind and supportive, but doesn’t know me that well so my letter will probably be pretty generic.

Essay: Again, same as the rec letters, I have no idea how good my essay will look in the eyes of the adcom. But I consider myself a very skilled writer, especially in personal essays. I would say to pretend my essays are 9/10 in quality.
