<p>Subjective:
ECs: Rowed for 4 years all year round, volunteer work of 40+ hours (with a fixed position at a popular soup kitchen that I got in October), did a week long forensic science camp before junior year, started writing for school newspaper this year (just discovered love for writing), won small award at my school a select group of students won (not very prestigious), and I am currently working in a group that is trying to reduce stigmas related to mental health issues.
Essays: Definitely shining part of my application. My common app talks about what got me through high school and sort of explains my not-so-hot 9th grade and upward trend. Probably ~8-9/10. Udel supplements were ok, probably ~6-8/10 overall.
Recs: GC wrote a nice personalized one but didn't talk about bad freshman year. Also may have screwed me with secondary school report. Teacher 1 is a lazy teacher I shouldn't have gotten. Long story. Teacher 2 nominated me for the award I got, think it may be slightly better than average. Teacher 3 is the best English teacher in the school, I'm pretty confident it was good. Supplemental recommender wrote an amazing letter about my struggles and how I've gained insight. I read it, probably was at least 8/10.
I think that's it. I haven't heard back from UD so I think I was at best deferred. Would it help to change one of my major choices to undeclared?</p>
