[] Job/Work Experience: n/a
[] Essays (subject and responses): common app essay: about how my political views were influenced by my extremely liberal/somewhat closed-minded hometown and my brother considering joining the military - forced me to step back from the bubble and see things differently. leader essay: wrote a letter to Anthony Weiner, urging him to return to politics- explained why he should not have resigned because of his scandal and how his voice was extremely important in our government.
[] Teacher Recs: fantastic. Had great relationships with both of the teachers who wrote mine - got to read one of the letters and it was extremely positive, confident the other was similar.
[] Counselor Rec: wasn’t super involved in that- I have a huge school so they have to write literally hundreds.
[] Applied on (EA?): ED2, but applied on December 1 (for merit scholarship deadline, wasn’t a finalist)
[] Hook (if any): I’m a pretty academically inclined person but I’m also a very accomplished artist… CMC’s not huge in the arts, maybe they liked me for the diversity? Haha not sure
