Rec Letters

The one from my English teacher is definitely amazing. The other one from my Indian physics teacher (probably grammatically bad) is very good at the least. She really loves me, but I’m just not sure how she wrote the letter.

Common App Essay

It’s the prompt about a topic that makes you lose track of time. The essay is written in script format, and it describes a late night of me getting absorbed in writing a short screenplay. I think it’s unique, but doesn’t tell much about me besides passion and engagement in personal interests.

Supplements

Bowdoin and Brown supplements were pretty good.

Why Northwestern was pretty good but not on the level as the others IMO.

Other details

I applied to Tulane EA last minute, without any demonstrated interest besides doing the optional Why Tulane essay. I was deferred. I know they practice yield protection but it does worry me.

Schools
