<p>Stats:

<p>Subjective:
Essays: My big essay was really good. I was very proud of it.
Teacher Recs: Nothing super-special.
Counselor Rec: THE WEIRDEST LETTER ANYONE HAS EVER READ. Literally a page-long metaphor of me as a "brilliant white yacht," replete with spelling and grammar errors... I really think this is what got me in. No joke. I don't know how anyone could have read that letter and forgotten it.
Hook (if any): That letter. The fact that I live at school. </p>

Other stats: I sew and kind of have my own business making bags and t-shirts. I got voted for Most Original Style in my senior class, making me the "artsy type" I suppose. I studied for like 5 minutes throughout highschool and only took 2 AP classes, so this situation is kind of ridiculously funny to me. Oh, I think I'm also president of French club! haha</p>
