Essays (rating 1-10, details): 8-9, I am a pretty strong writer, basically about how I’ve realized how fast time has gone and that I want to live my life with a purpose, but took it from a very unique perspective and worked really hard on it.
Recommendations (rating 1-10, details):
Teacher Rec #1: 9, English teacher who really liked me, I was close with her.
Teacher Rec #2: 6 or 7, from my math teacher, math is not my strength and I am not the most extroverted person, so I feel like he didn’t know me that well and it was probably pretty generic
Counselor Rec: 7, probably pretty generic
Additional Rec: N/A
Interview: went well, but it was my interviewer’s very first time giving an interview. He was really nervous and it was kind of awkward. It felt more like I was interviewing him. Honestly I don’t think it had an impact on my application though.
