<p>I'd say that your numbers and EC's put you in a competitive position. Work hard to get some good recs and write some good essays and you have a decent shot.</p>

3

<p>Are you applying ED or RD?</p>

4

<p>RD, so I have some time. I hope my recs are good, I already had my 2 teachers write them, but now I'm worried one of my teachers didn't write a very favorable one about me!! Oh well</p>

5

<p>Not to make you anxious or anything...but am "unfavorable" teacher recommendation is definitely something you should be worried about...</p>

6

<p>if u got a not so good rec from school teacher, dont use it but use an supplement instead, like ur voice teacher, musical director, w/e. thats what im doing, using my piano teacher's, cuz she def knows me better than teachers at school</p>

<p>Yeah, that's a good idea. Thanks! I'm not SURE if my teacher wrote a bad letter or anything, she's just a kinda weird teacher, so I'm just a little nervous.</p>
