Recommendations (rating 1-10, details):
Teacher Rec #1:9, History Teacher I have had since sophomore year, really saw me develop as a student and did very well in his class.
Teacher Rec #2:10, Physics Teacher, loved me as I had him for IB and then for AP physics right now, also started the physics club with him as our counselor.
Counselor Rec: 5, Counselor didn’t like me as she always thought I was challenging her when I wanted to take a bunch of difficult classes and often would be upset with me.
Additional Rec: 9, Scoutmaster from Boy Scout Troop, I had not lived where I do for the entire time I have been in the troop, but he still wrote a really good recommendation for me about my character

Reflection
Strengths:GPA, Scores, Leadership, Fundraising Events, spending large amount of time on essays(#BeatingProcrastination)
Weaknesses: Dedication to clubs/extracurriculars, also I believe this to be a personal thing that I went through but outside of school I had practically no social life, I dedicated so much time at the end of my sophomore year to start padding my application and lost out on having a fun high school experience, this did make me crack my social shell in class though, as I had never been very talkative having just moved there freshman year, but really opened up which teachers reflected on in my recommendation
Other Schools:
Accepted: RA MIT, EA UNC Chapel Hill Honors College, EA UChicago, EA NCState(Full tuition, Won’t be attending though, my parents made me apply for acceptance and tuition for bragging right which his stupid)

Also, if you want you can do the other schools I have applied to Northwestern(Legacy), WashU, UCLA, Columbia, Brown
