<p>My essays are good, the $10 one shows passion for music, my academic one shows my interest in history (I'm going to major in it). They are well written and my gifted support teacher likes them a lot. </p>

<p>My recommendations are good. One is good, the other is great. My GC's is pretty good as well.</p>

<p>I had an on-campus interview as well. I think that went well.</p>

<p>So, I'm just getting anxious I guess, so that's about all.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
