<p>I'm a good writer, so I'm hoping my essays will be good. I'm close to my english teacher, so I have a good recommendation there (he's had me for 2 years in a row). My chem teacher is also cool and I'm thinking about asking my speech coach for a recommendation as well.
However, my relationship with my counselor hasn't been the best...she really messed up my schedule once and we had something of a disagreemnt, but I'm also VP of the Student Ambassadors group she's in charge of. I'm trying to get on better terms with her. How much do you think her recommendation counts for?</p>
<p>I really would like to get into top-notch schools, so please chance me for some of the following! Any recommendations or experience you have would be greatly appreciated.
Princeton (top choice)
