<p>Letters of Rec:
counselor-very strong
teacher 1-he said it was really strong
teacher 2-good, maybe average/typical stuff</p>

<p>Essays:
one about interfaith issues/how she views religion in society, the other about her mixed identity (cultural heritage, religion, etc)</p>

<p>well, she is the val, but it doesn't seem that she tests well, unfortunately, or maybe you come from an uncompetitive school. her strongest point will probably be her rank, gpa, and essays if she can really pull of something great about interfaith. besides this religious aspect, i would not give her a good chance for yale RD. but with that factored in, i think she has like an average chance for Yale, which is not spectacular, but tell her to work REALLY hard on those essays and definitely get them edited many times.</p>

<p>Thanks, any other thoughts?</p>
