<p>Recs: One from my English teacher, another from my math teacher of 4 years; I expect them all to be great, as I have a very good relationship with these teachers.
Essays: I have written most of my essays and am now in the editing stage. I know it is hard for one to judge his or her own work, but my essays are honestly incredible. Fantastic stories, lots of heart, non-cliched life lessons learned, leadership demonstrated, lives changed. Even my "Why" essays are really unique and interesting, according to a number of sources including a friend who has worked in admissions at Dartmouth.<br>
Hooks: Stanford legacy

<p>What I am reaaally worried about are my AP Bio subject test and AP score. Any advice or consolation? :/</p>
and I have no idea what happened with bio…I was expecting at least a 3. So I will definitely retake them and another humanities subject. Thank you for the input.</p>
