my recs are probably from my jr yr math teacher and my soph yr english teacher, both love me. my guidance counselor will also write an amazing rec, and i’m a good writer (i was accepted to a creative writing program at my local county college in middle school but didn’t continue it in high school) so i know my essays will be rlly good.
could someone chance me, because like i said, i’m super scared that i won’t have a shot, but i heard that trinity is more holistic than pratt so i might have a shot
