<p>Recommendations
Currently, the teacher's union at my school is prohibiting teachers from writing letters of recommendation. However, my research mentor from Fox Chase has kindly agreed to write me one. I am currently contacting the schools I am applying to in order to find out how this will affect my chances (not looking good right now :/ ).</p>
<p>The colleges I am applying to:
MIT, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Stanford, Harvard, U Penn, U Pitt, Wash U in St. Louis, Drexel</p>
<p>If I forgot anything, please ask!!!</p>
<p>Thank you so much!!!</p>
(even if MIT is my dream school)</p>
