I’ve been told that my essays are pretty good; although the Stanford rejection today really shook my essay self-confidence, I’m still gonna say that they’re 9/10. Letters of Rec are both great, as far as I know, so I’ll say they’re at least 9.5/10 each.
Had my HAIL interview two weeks ago and I thought it went very well, the guy seemed to like me. We wrapped up in like 35 minutes, that seems short compared to my other interviews but I felt great about it at the time.
Anyway, yeah. Thanks for reading that haha.
