[<em>]Essays: I really liked all of mine except the Creativity one - I just couldn’t find a way to make it sound as good as I wanted to, so I just went with the straightforward and bland route. I did submit an extra ‘Why MIT?’ essay, around 400 words.
[</em>]Recs: I saw both teacher recs - they said a lot of the same things about my leadership qualities, but supported these claims with different evidence, so I think the combination was good. My counselor rec was most likely excellent; I know relatively well. I also submitted a supplementary rec from a research mentor - this probably didn’t say anything about my personality since she doesn’t know me very well - probably along the lines of “she’s hard-working and dedicated.”
