Letters of Recommendation:
My English III, U.S. History, Latin, Chem/Anatomy, and Ceramics teachers could all write great letters of recommendation for me. I’m also on good terms with my counselor and she knows me well.

My common app essay is good, but not great. It has a hook but definitely falls short of being extraordinary.
