<p>Essays and Recommendations</p>
<p>Physics Rec: Had to have been good...this guy is cool and would never write an "okay" letter for someone, unless he or she was just "okay," which I don't think I am (and nor does he, or so I think).</p>
<p>Other Teacher Rec: English teacher...her's had to have been very, very good. She's a great writer and she LOVED having me in her class...she was a pretty cool teacher too :)</p>
<p>Last extra rec: From my employer, Ruf Autocentre--this was the best thing I've ever read. There wasn't a flaw in it and it was very, very persuasive I thought (I was able to read it after my boss wrote it).</p>
<p>Counselor Rec: Probably so-so.</p>
<p>Essays: My essays were very interesting. I can't really remember what I wrote about now, BUT I can definitely remember that I loved 'em.</p>
<p>Interview: Couldn't have gone any better. Seriously, my interviewer was awesome. We talked for about 1.5 hours!</p>
<p>Other comments: I got deferred EA, but I am very excited about tomorrow's decision! Who knows...I've come to the conclusion that if I do get in, I'll be ecstatic. If I don't get in, it's not the end of the world--90% of the applicants won't recieve a definitively positive decsion tomorrow, sorry. Good luck to us all! Eat some pi!</p>
