Essays-Beautifully done actually and professionally edited four different times.

Recommendations- AP Writing teacher was 10/10 beautifully written with fantastic imagery and prose. APUSH Teacher 9/10 spoke about me as a person with a kind heart and giving spirit. Counselor Rec is fantastic and very focused on me as a leader and an academic power.

Weakness:
Might I not be too great academically maybe? Lower testing score on ACT?

Other:
State- LA
Gender- Male
Ethnicity- White
School: Private
Class size: 176
I am a second generation legacy at Princeton

Possible weakness: “Essays-Beautifully done actually and professionally edited four different times.”

Professionally edited means your final product will sound professionally edited – not a good thing IMHO

I always make sure it still has my spirit and mark though it’s more of a structure thing really. Besides that, does everything else seem good?
