Recommendations

- US History Teacher: 11/10. I was his favorite student so that helped a lot lol
- Precalculus Teacher: 7/10. I was one of his best students in the class but I think the rec was just okay/pretty good
Essays:
- Personal statement: excellent and special. wrote a story about one of the students in my ice skating classes and and how teaching her taught me as well. don’t really know how to rate this
- Supplement: it was well written and thoughtful, but nothing really special. Talked about their international relations honors program. 7-7.5
Let me know what you think!
