<p>Teacher recs: should be good, got it from my econ and lang teacher and my lang teacher said I was one of the best students in her class
Counselor Recs: probably generic but shouldn't be detrimental
essays: i think they aren't bad, got some feedback and many of them said they were really good but I'll leave that up to admissions officers </p>
<p>I'll post more info if I think of any. Please feedback me! I really wanna get into Stern I have a burning passion for finance and I hope that shows through my EC's. December 15th is coming so soon!</p>
