Essay / Recommendation
Essay : 8/10, It’s good, but not exceptional, i guess?
Teacher Recommendation : 10/10, They both love me, and they said they will write me the best letters.
Counselor Recommendation : 9/10, He does love me, but who knows how he will write.
Strength : Fairly good scores, 4 language speaker, being an Asian? (My friend told me that being an Asian might mean I have to compete in a different applicant pool?)
Weakness : Since I was in a public school, the education system is not well applicable to the US-standards, causing the following: Lack of ECs, AP/IB/Honors)
Any other college suggestions?
