<p>Recs:
As I'm a junior, I'm not quite sure how they'll turn out yet, but I've thought about asking my Lang teacher (I've only been in her class for 2 semesters, but I've known her for about 2 years) and my latin teacher (only latin teacher at my school, known since freshman year)</p>
<p>My counselor is one of those types who doesn't really know any kids by name (he's responsible for many, many kids though, so I guess that's understandable), I've tried to become more familiar with him, but I don't believe that I've really been successful.</p>
<p>So, what are my chances?</p>
<p>Edit: Any feedback on some of the other schools I'm looking to apply to (namely Upenn and Uchicago) would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if you're also a high school student, please feel free to post your own chance thread.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance guys</p>
