Counselor Who I have known for years who knows me better than my parents. She helped me with mental health stuff too.

History Teacher who is like an uncle to me because we argue about everything including politics and philosophy in a nice way.

Dance Teachers- Apparently they have a lot of stories about me being kind to the younger kids and making them inspired and loved but I don’t remember any of that.

I want to apply ED to Bowdoin for a build your own major for econophysics with a minor in computer science

Since for your year you may not need to submit standardized scoring results at many colleges, feel free to consider a range of liberal arts colleges that offer notable programs in economics: https://ideas.repec.org/top/top.uslacecon.html. From that solid foundation, you would be able to develop your interest in econophysics.
