<p>Essays should be very original and interesting. I'm writing on my experience in my first international school and how I grew after my struggle with the language barriers, cultural differences and other difficulties. Another essay is on French Literature, how I changed my views on French culture after learning the language.</p>
<p>Recs from French and History teacher. Both of them told me the recs will be glowing.</p>
<p>(I'm also applying to Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, Penn, Brown, Swarthmore and McGill in the regular round)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
