I believe I had very good teacher recs because my English and math teacher both say I am very talented at writing+algebra/geometry.
Mom is from China, Dad is from Germany, so I can bring diversity.
Just wondering what are my chances because I know Lakeside is very competitive, and I am not applying for financial aid.
