<p>also: i participated in the skidmore precollege program last summer and received a B+ in a 100s level psych course and a C in a 200 level english course (interpretation of poetry). one of my recommendation letters was written by my guidance counselor (a skidmore alum), the other two by my east asian studies teacher/debate coach/musical collaborator and my AP Bio teacher. I plan on majoring in biology (skidmore seems to be trying to beef up its science department). My essay was of a non traditional form and I believe it fully displays my creative abilities. My supplement demonstrates my belief in human independence; last I checked there's a shortage of libertarians in colleges these days.
I had a good interview and applied ED 1 (should be hearing back in a week!)</p>
