Other notes :
-I think my essays give a pretty full picture of who I am. I covered my diverse music taste, my extroverted personality, debate, my political activism, and why I want to go into global development BME specifically
- in the additional information section I mentioned that my extended essay topic is Color Theory Across the Films of Wes Anderson
I know GT is more competitive then ever as the EA release date approaches I would just like an understanding of my chances. Thanks all!
