LORs:
Gifted Ed Teacher (Counts as Counselor)-Loves me, helped me put together Ethics Bowl team and prepare for state in only two weeks. I also conducted a feminist research study with her for her PhD colloquium.
AP Biology teacher-Probably good, will likely write about how I struggled as a junior who hadn’t taken chemistry yet, but worked very hard and brought my grade up to an A and got a 5 on the AP test.
AP Lang teacher-She loves me, hopefully she writes good things!
Essays-Lol, haven’t started.
Do I have a shot? Thanks!
