Recs:
AP Bio teacher- should be good. loves me and his rec got me into the internship that had an acceptance rate of below 5%
Honors English 10 teacher- also stuco adviser. knows me well and I have collaborated with her with my essay to get into the internship and will probably send her more college essays so she can see how I have progressed as a writer
I have started looking at the essays and have written some. I find it hard not to repeat the same message with different words any tips on writing essays? Also if you’re super cool and have a lot of time could I PM you my essays and have you look over them it would be very helpful. I am worried my Why____? essays are too generic even though I really like my idea on how to present it all.
