<p>I'm working hard on my essays and I'm getting two really good teacher recommendations. I have taken the most difficult classes I could all three years. I'm just afraid I'll look less impressive next to students from way better schools because my school offers so few AP's and even academic clubs. Any input would be appreciated!</p>
