<p>Very impressive! I like your mix by the way---half Korean and half Bangladeshi. I'm half Japanese and half Korean.</p>

<p>omg, lol, you're in</p>

<p>haha thanks!
I'm very nervous now.
I definitely regret not applying ED because Wellesley is my first choice :[</p>

<p>reply to post above (same here)
but seriously lol, i wouldn't worry, ur stats are great and wellesley will definetly accept you</p>

<p>teehee I'll cross my fingers for it
That would be amazing! :]</p>

<p>Oh and today, I just found out that the teacher rec I thought was average was amazing. I always had evil thoughts about the teacher because he actually doesn't know me well or even like me. So it really surprised me when he showed me a copy of the rec today and it was good. haha I felt so bad.</p>

<p>wow, ur lucky lol, our teachers would never-ever-in-their-lifetime show us our recs</p>

<p>lol well it's not so much that he showed me my rec. He had an extra copy that he was going to throw away and he asked me to get rid of it for him. hahhaha</p>

<p>lol, tricky aren't we?</p>

<p>I would be shocked if you did not get in.</p>

<p>Of course, I'm shocked by decisions every year, but still, you are <em>very</em> qualified.</p>
