Essays: I thought my common app and supplement were both really good. Very honest and real. Especially the suppliment–did the letter to a roommate and it was about my passion for writing
Teacher Recommendation: thought they were pretty good, one of the teacher’s had written me recs for three other programs, all of which I ended up getting into. Read the other one and it seemed pretty cut and dry but it wasn’t bad
Counselor Rec: Probably pretty great because we were working on a one-on-one level and she only had one other student to right
Additional Rec: didn’t have one
Interview: It went really well, and he seemed extremely impressed. Now I think back on it and just keep picking a bunch of things that must have been wrong, but overall he seemed to really like me and I got to say everything I hadn’t put on my app</p>

<p>General Comments: I was extremely upset at first–well, I guess I still am. I mean, I’ve been staying pretty pessimistic, but I did have that glimmer of hope when I was waiting for the email. I’ve been aiming for this my whole life, and failure just makes it feel like everything I’ve done is a waste. I know it sounds very whiny and ridiculous, but I think only a few people can really understand what it means. But congratulations to those of you who got in, and good luck to everyone on this next round.</p>
