[ *] Essays: My common app was about my relationship with my brother. He has Asperger’s, and we have had a complex relationship. I know that sounds hackneyed, but I used the failure prompt in a creative way and my college counselor loved it. I think it was my best work, especially because it was so intimate and personal.
[ *] Teacher Recommendations: My AP Chem and AP Lit teachers- I don’t know how good they are. They both are very hard to read, but I did very well in both of their classes, and my college counselor assured me that they are solid recs.
[ *] Counselor Rec: I think he likes me a lot so I hope it was good!
[ ] Additional Rec: N/A
