Essays:
My quirkiness was definitely evident in most of them. My common app was pretty kickass but a few of the supplements were kinda rushed.
Recs
Teacher 1: probably really great
Teacher 2: I’m guessing it was solid, maybe a little generic?
Counselor: I go to a large public school with understaffed guidance counselors, so she doesn’t really have the time to really get to know students who aren’t struggling with something or in need of help, but we had a pretty good relationship.
Other:
I also sent in an art portfolio that is pretty solid, but i don’t know if it’ll do much bc I put down IR as my intended major for most of my schools.
SCHOOLS (top choice->last resort): Carleton, Grinnell, Pitzer, Pomona, Brown, Oberlin, Wesleyan, Reed, Lawrence University, WashU, University of Richmond
Muchas gracias! :-bd
I hope this helps.
