<p>Oh, and my teachers are all pretty much half an inch from molestation charges, so my recommendations should be good (please note the hyperbole). I’ve been told my essays are Swift material. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>You look solid. Keep your grades up junior and senior year (looks like that shouldn't be too much of a problem for you!) and write some awesome essays.</p>

<p>Where are you from? I've never heard of AP trig, and you use the British spelling for "honours." Are you international?</p>

<p>I'm from Manheim Township High School, in Lancaster Pennsylvania. It's Amish country, and about as international as Bush's coalition. I'm not international, but I often find myself using English spellings in odd places; several papers have come back with "Typo" scrawled across every missing "z". Brown is a school of which I have dreamt since I was 10, and I even have photograph of the Van Winkle gates hanging above my bookshelf, although I'm afraid there's a bit of a rip in it. Also, do you think they'll look well upon my positive grade jump from Freshman to Sophomore year? I fear if they don't give me an interview, I may not be able to make excuses for myself. Also, it's Theoretical Trigonometry; pardon the typo.</p>
