Princeton Supp - Signifigant person = track coach teaching me leadership skills</p>

<p>Conselor recc. should be amazing she seems to love my drive.
Teacher reccomendations should also be good, they both know well as a person, rather than just as a student.

2. Music Theory teacher for past 3 years</p>

<p>Will be sending in Arts Supplement</p>

<p>Hooks/Anti-Hooks : Central PA, not going up against all the philly legacies
Strong Background in music, not all academics
School never sends to Ivy (is this a hook?)
Anti: everyone keeps telling me Im crazy, but I dont love my SAT score, taking over in January</p>

<p>Schools: Penn - #1 Choice, would have applied ED but was worried about $$$
Princeton - send me a viewbook, love their aid</p>

<p>a little bit of a reach with the sat score, but i’m not all that familiar with penn. but good luck!!</p>
