<p>Recommendations:
1) AP Chem Teacher a class I got a high C in but worked my a## off in, she wrote about my resiliency and growth</p>
<p>2) AP Lang Teacher wrote about how caring and introspective I am and how good my writing is and how I enjoy writing about abstract ideas and how I do it well...he mentioned what a big part of the school I am and how I will continue to make the world a betterplace and shine a little brighter wherever I go</p>
<p>3) AP Bio Teacher wrote about how determined and driven I am and about how I led all my clubs (NHS, Key Club, Student Council) to lead a Hurricane Sandy Relief fundraiser and how she could "go on for pages of what a valuable addition she is at (school's name), but if admitted I guarentee she will prove it to you herself" and so on</p>
<p>4) Sponser for the Sr and Jr class wrote about how studious and dependable I am, working with me as Jr and Sr president, what "an honor it is to write a recommendation" for me and how I go out of my way to help all of those around me and how I am such a great leader of the class</p>
<p>5) Counselor, wrote about what a hard worker I am and my sunny disposition and how ambitious and motivated I am</p>
<p>Concerns:
I know my GPA is a little low, I slipped Jr year working 3-10 almost everyday to help support my family's financial issues, but I worked my a## off to pick everything back up. I expressed this in interviews and in "additional essay" for my CommonApp. I was hoping my rigorous courseload, demonstrated interest in Kenyon, glowing recommendations, and stronger Sr year would save me. What do you think?</p>
