<p>Recs:
One from my AP World History teacher/Amnesty International Advisor (she said she
called me one of her fav students in her 30 years of teaching)
Second from my Precalc Teacher, stressing my work ethic in mathematics, even though it is my weakest subject. Its more glowing, but that's the jist of it. </p>
<p><strong>P.S. my average is lower because my school stupidly counts 8th grade courses, two of which are in the 80s, my HS UW average is actually around 96.8. Without counting these courses my W average would be like 97.8, and would probably help my ranking by like at least 8 people. </strong>es me off lol.*</p>
<p>I suppose that's it. To those who post, THANK YOU! Please be harsh if need be.</p>
