Personal - My personal narrative is about a peculiar hobby of mine, and how it has influenced my life. Unique-ish probably
Rec Letters were both from teacher who liked me and knew me well, both said they were good.
Guidance counselor rec letter will likely be good, good relationship and interactions.
I have an additional rec letter from my internship advisor, who is also the CEO of the research group. Pretty good.
I don’t have any hooks, unless being LGBT in the Asian community counts, and don’t have legacies.
