4 rec letters-
Counselor - seems to like me well enough but idk about her letter. Likely to be very generic or at least “good enough.”
Junior year calculus and english teachers - Both like me alot and I’m fairly certain that they’re both very good letters.
GLOWING rec letter from the founder and CEO of the organization that runs the school in china I volunteer at over the summer.
I think my essays are pretty good too - talks about how I grew from a shy and timid middle schooler into a competent public speaker and leader.
Thanks!
