<p>Never saw her teacher or guidance counselor recommendations but they must have been good. </p>
<p>She spent a lot of time on her essays but they weren’t over the top. They were a true representation of her personality and she had fun with them rather than stressing and obsessing about them and I think that was evident in her writing. She felt she was a perfect fit for the UofC from day 1 and I think that was evident in her essays and application materials as well.</p>
