Essays/LORs/Other
I’ve been struggling with my essays but that’s more of an ‘ideas’ problem. I’m not really sure how to rate those. My LORs are from my lang and gov teachers; they both like (?) me, so.
Cost Constraints / Budget
As far as I know I’d get enough aid from Kenyon, however I’ll look more into this with my parents.
Schools
Well, Kenyon ED2, probably. This whole process has been really overwhelming so my planning is kind of screwed. If not Kenyon, I’d consider ED2 at like, Bryn Mawr. So I guess, generally, I’m looking for feedback on my chances at LACs like that? I made a similar post looking for colleges so I’m not sure if this technically counts as double-posting. Thank you in advance!
