Subjective

Essays: I did the best I could with the essays, but I know I could’ve written better. The word count limit really restricted what I could write.

Teacher Recs: I picked two teachers that knew me really well, hopefully my recommendations were good because I never got the chance to read them.

Other Rec: My guidance counselor submitted my recommendation within one day of asking her to, so hopefully her was good but she doesn’t know me really well.
