My personal essay talked about my mother’s car accident and human error in surgery that left her with with crps unable to perform most tasks, so i’ve had to basically raise my little sis on my own because my dad’s the sole breadwinner; my uncle (fave person in the world!) and role model works at brown and wrote an extra letter of rec about how responsible and independent i am :). Also, I’m biracial (white and african american) whaddup
SAT score 2180, SAT IIs sucked (all between 650-700), I really only have one leadership role (club president of community service LEO club) because even though I play many sports, I’m not especially athletic so I would never become captain and I tend to join extracurriculars to spend time with them and I prefer to be in the background helping them to stand out
Brown, Princeton, Columbia (hopeful but not overconfident about any of these)
Nonee.
YES. I went to work once with my uncle at age 11 and have legitimately been in love ever since. Everyone there is both brilliant and open-minded, something my community honestly lacks (thinking about college is the only thing that’s gotten me through my angsty high school years lolol)
No one from my school has ever got in. EVER. :(
Got both e-mails but like I said, I’m all about being realistic and there are hardly any “sure-shot’s” with Ivy’s so I took them to be completely and utterly meaningless.
Better Days by Breaking Benjamin LOL and then I would call up my friends to watch lotr in my basement and get wasted beyond recognition on some classy-ass zinfandel
I would definitely cry A LOT but I would eventually get over it because I’m pretty resilient like that. However, I think full-blown senioritis might kick in and I’ll finally tell my ******* spanish teacher to go **** himself :)
