-Recs:
*<em>TEACHERS: haven't seen them but probably very good; one from physics/chemistry AP teacher who liked very few students, i being one of them; other from math teacher who i had in 10th and 11th grade so she saw how i grew or whatever
*</em>COUNSELOR: also haven't seen but have known her forever, also in charge of NHS and loves my involvement in that
