<p>I've been waiting for someone to make one of these threads, but since no one has I decided to do it myself, even though I haven't heard back yet.</p>
<p>Remove the spaces inside the brackets to make it work...</p>
<p>Let's make it a little easier to read by making ACCEPTED green, REJECTED red, and WAITLIST yellow. Do this by by putting Red, Yellow, or Green in where the word "Red" is right now in the first line.</p>

<p>[li] Teacher Recs: Both know me very well and have always spoken enthusiastically of me. I was at the top of their classes, so I assume they were very flattering.

<p>[li] Counselor Rec: I know him more than most kids know their counselors, so I think it was pretty good. He always spoke very highly of me from what I hear? Plus, I got an opportunity to talk to him about things I didnt include on my resume.</p>[/li]
