[ /list]
[ b]Subjective[ /b][ list]
[ *]Essays: I just tried to let my personality shine through, as though I were writing an essay to a teacher at the beginning of the year that wanted to get to know me. Long essay, I went with the table prompt and wrote about the table of my mind and all the personalities that pop up and contrast and complement one another in different situations of my life. Why Chicago, I talked about theatre and the city Chicago and my belief that learning is the only thing that you can have forever. The third I focused just on my favorite books and wrote about why I loved them.
[ *]Teacher Recs: Never saw them, but I love the teachers I had write them. Pretty sure the feeling is mutual.
[ *]Counselor Rec: Never saw it, but I get along decently with my counselor. I don’t think she knows how to spell my name correctly, but I guess that was okay. 
[ *]Supplementary Material: I had my theatre director, who knows me the best out of all of my recommenders, write a letter. I also had clips of shows ready to go if I needed more stuff if I got deffered.
[ *]Hook: Yeah, none. [ /list]

[ b]Other[ /b][ list]
[ *]Extracurriculars: Theatre 30-40 hrs/week all year long, have stage managed shows with hundreds of actors, lab assistant for my school, National Honor Society, Link Crew for the freshmen, etc. Done 4 years of Latin in 2 years through independent study. Work at McDonald’s about 15 hrs/week.
[ *]Awards: AP Scholar w/ Distinction, department awards in my foreign languages, just random here and there. 4 Varsity letters in theatre performance, 2 letters in Community Service…I think that’s all I put down.
[ *]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: My case was weird, in that I applied Early Action but somehow I got put down for Regular Decision. My counselor and I gave admissions a jingle the 14th and they realized what had happened and said I would get a decision this week in the mail (meaning TODAY :D). I was really pumped up, but prior to this I was sure I was going to get rejected because I figured I was kind of blah and average and didn’t really have a great hook. I’m just really grateful that I go in and that I have this amazing opportunity presented before me. I’m low income, so I’ll have to twiddle my thumbs and see what financial aid turns out to be…if all goes well, hopefully I’ll get to go. I’M SO EXCITED! [ /list]</p>
