Recommendations:
Both 11th grade AP teachers who I thought knew me well, straight A’s in those classes. One is a teacher of the year in Ohio, FWIW.

My thoughts:
Too many reaches, too few safeties? What are your thoughts? I guess I am banking on getting into one of the schools other than OSU. Worst case, I don’t get in anywhere except OSU, and I will go there, but I really do not want to do that.
