Rec Letters: One from AP Statistics Teacher and AP Lang Teacher. Haven’t seen them, but can only assume they are pretty decent
Overall, I feel like my extracurriculars are going to kill me. My friend who applied earlier already got in, so I’m nervously waiting for my decision. I heard it could take until mid January before engineering review decisions get released? On the other hand, the other schools I applied to include UT, Georgia Tech, UIUC, and UH.
Thanks!
