Recommendations: can’t be sure, but I think they’re both really good; both from teachers I’ve had multiple times who seem to really like me. GC rec pretty good, have a good relationship with her.
Commonapp essay: Really, really good. It’s about cooking, but not really. I’ve had lots of different people read it, so I’m pretty confident.
Supplemental essay: Still working on it, but it’s shaping up to be really good. It’s about how Fitzgerald’s prose changed my whole perception of how writing could be.</p>
