Teacher Recommendations: Getting them from AP Calc Teacher, and Latin Teacher. AP Calc teacher likes me and I really enjoyed the class and I would always ask questions and talked to her outside of school a bunch. Latin Teacher I have had for going on four years and he knows me really well. I’ve talked to him about my career goals and everything and he is chill and funny and he went to Cornell too. Will probably have great recommendations.
Counselor Rec: Knows me pretty well, will be pretty good. 9/10
Essay: Planning on working my ass off on the essay and tying in my strength in volunteering and talking about what I can do for people around the world through business. Also talking about calculus and how some of the topics I learned in that class are really exciting for me and taught me how to think about business and everything in a really different way.
