<p>App. Essay: One about volunteerism being one of my passions and another as an explanation for a "D" I got in 10th grade, IMO these essays are some of the best I've written
Recommendation: From my Leadership teacher, a very good rec. about my growth as a leader in and out of school. (I also chose not to waive my right to access so I hope that doesn't hurt my chances.)
Also, I applied for the RPI Medal but I wasn't granted it because "this student may very well not be accepted into RPI". Kind of broke my heart because RPI is my first choice.</p>
<p>Soooooo, what do you guys think?</p>
