Recommendations: all blind but should be pretty good, the teachers told my parents and I that we shouldn’t worry
Essays: all should be pretty good, wrote tons about my summer camp experience at Hotchkiss and why I wanted to go as well as some personal stories
Interview: the interviewer and I clicked pretty quickly, we talked and laughed tons about my summer at Hotchkiss and why Hotchkiss
I am a legacy as my father went there. I also attended summer camp there during the summer of 2017.
I’m applying to more than one school, but Hotchkiss is my top choice for so many reasons and I want to attend more than ever. Ask me if you want clarification for anything, would appreciate it if you could chance for me!
