[/ul]Subjective:[ul][] Essays: I have been told I am a good writer, however I could have put a little more time into them. I wrote about directing a show and about a theatre class I took that changed my life.
[] Teacher Recs: Good, I think? I never read my teacher rec, but I trust that they wrote something positive.
[] Counselor Rec: I honestly have no idea. Must not have been terrible seeing as I was accepted… but I have had a new counselor every year, so it was probably pretty general.
[] EC highlights:I do a lot of theatre both at my school and outside of it. I am the vice president of my school’s drama club and of a youth council at a local theatre company. I am in the National Honors Society. I sing and dance as well.

Location/Person:[ul][] State or Country: Minnesota!
[] School Type: Very large, public, urban

[/ul]Other Factors, hook?: I had a pretty good interview with the school of theatre which probably didn’t hurt. I mentioned that I am in a band with my friend and that we write comedic songs about failed relationships… I am sure that was the hook.

General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to USC…?: I got the presidential scholarship, (Half tuition all four years) so USC is looking pretty good right now as far as affordability goes. My final decision is between here, Northwestern University, and Brandeis University!
