Essays:
My main concern: Common app was about a completely unrelated thing that wasn’t even academic. However I think it was solid (not like amazing though) and showed who i am extremely well. One of our family friends has a friend who is an essay consultant from Harvard and she said it was amazing
My Northwestern supplement is good also- very specific and showed why i wanna do economics. it also ties into my volunteering ECs.
My UCs were average i guess?
Letter of Recs:
- Good, maybe great. I really haven’t asked or checked but I’ve been pretty close with these teachers and they are the sponsors of my clubs.
