<p>I know for sure that i have one STELLAR letter of recommendation from my soph. english teacher, and my counsellor will deliver a super letter and i have a couple if math teachers who are sure to be very helpful so thats not what im worried about..
and im not worried about my essay because im planning to be super passionate and as powerful ad i can be in my writing. so all of that is alright i think.. but im worried about whether i have enough extra curriculars. i mean, theyre all music, and i dont want to major in music? weird how that turned out but either way i want to major in Russian.
and im most concerned about my ACT because i could get 36 on both english and reading, but science ad math will always be average at best, and they'll always pull me down. is a 30 worthy of Columbia with my resume?
p.s. im white lower middle class
THANKS!!!!</p>
