Essays/LORs/Other
STEM: Physics teacher
Humanities: Math teacher

I think they will be normal LORs, relationship with teachers is fine but nothing special

If there is a space with an extra LOR of my choice, LOR will be very strong. Either school accountant (whom I work with a lot for treasury and finance) or class advisor (works with class officers for class events and happens to be my sophomore chemistry teacher and the teacher I will TA for next year)

Goal School: UPenn Wharton ED
ED 2: NYU Stern (?)

I think you can see some thoughts on the thread you opened earlier today.

Like anyone, you have a chance - but it won’t be easy.

Make sure you understand your finances- - and what these schools cost.

Good luck.
