Recommendation letter:
One is from my math teacher. She loves me and promised to write me a good one.
One is from my Spanish teacher. She likes me very much and she is very good at writing.
One is from my employed in Alibaba Group. She had very close connections with me.
I will ED NYU Stern because I love its perfect location in the city and its strong alumni service.
For Claremont McKenna College, I will do EDII. I like this school but I don’t like its location (It’s in CA).
And then I will RD UPenn cas, Cornell cas, and Northwestern. But they are my reach schools I guess.
