<p>Recommendations:
Probably from my math teacher (who I’ve had for 5 out of 6 semesters so far) and from my US Gov soon to be CompGov teacher, who also runs our Youth and Government program. I have really great relationships with both of them and so I’m hoping I’ll get good recs. My counselor is busy having a baby but should be back in time, and she’s had me since the ninth grade, and I anticipate her writing an interesting rec… but with >300 kids to deal with, I don’t know how personal it’ll get.</p>
<p>Essays:
Will be primarily centered around personal issues. I figure if your parents are gay and separated you might as well run with it. First draft is done but is being dramatically downsized to fit the new word limit.</p>
<p>My senior schedule is embarrassingly light due to schedule conflicts and required art credits and whatnot. Anyone know where the best place to explain this would be? </p>
<p>Thanks a ton guys. :]</p>
