<p>you are one of the more interesting candidates i’ve seen merely because you have some SPECTACULAR stats as in international (even compared to some of those amazing asian kids) but you badly need financial aid. stats wise, you are in the top of even american resident applicants, but the financial aid hurts a lot. i’m not sure what to say but i can tell you the best of luck… </p>

<p>I think Yale advises that recommendation be from 11th or 12th grade teachers, if I’m not mistaken, but I think it’s better to take the best recommendation. For myself, I want a recommendation from a teacher from 10th grade, so I’m petitioning to have her for 12th:)</p>
<p>well your music counts but the fact that you are international and are indian doesn’t make you worldly. that’s just the way you were born. what you’ve done with that is what counts. and i’m sure you can easily get this across with your stellar essays :)</p>
