Essays: Very Strong
Common App: I wrote about standardized tests and the flawed logic behind their weight in determining students worth & future. 8.5/10
UMich Community: I wrote about coming to terms with being a Caucasian and African American Biracial girl and how the community surrounding me helped me reach those terms 7/10
Why UMich: I was told this was very impressive by college counselors & teachers, I wrote about specific psychology courses and professors as well as how my minor will coincide with these courses. I also highlighted a student run theatre club created for POC that i found interest in! 9/10
LORs: I only had one and I was not able to view it, but my teacher was very fond of my performance, so I’m hoping it was ok!
I know my chances are low but I’m curious! Thank you
