<p>Recs:
-My "main" rec could be good or bad. I had him for APUSH and Euro (100 avg, 5 on test) but he has an..interesting personality
-Also asked a 10th grade teacher who undoubtedly wrote an amazing rec</p>

<p>Counselor rec:
ugh. I've had a different counselor every year</p>

<p>Interview:
Went well from my perspectative, but that doesn't matter.</p>

<p>So? Georgetown is by far my first choice, but I'm a realist.</p>

2

<p>I think you've got a great chance.</p>

3

<p>350+ hours of independent research? You're in for sure. That is amazing.</p>

4

<p>What is considered independent research?</p>

5

<p>It's a bit harder to quantify than growing mold and doing crap to it, but I've spent the past two years reading primary sources, interviewing veterans and government officials, and putting my analyses into what is currently a 40 page paper.</p>

6

<p>Did you send what you've written so far? or at least explain it?</p>

7

<p>Well, they didn't seem to receptive towards extra material, but it was the focus of one of my essays.</p>

8

<p>So you lightweight explained it in your essay, that should be fine.</p>

9

<p>Bump: new SAT scores.</p>

<p>M:770 V:780 W:780 (not counted)</p>

<p>Will they get there in time for EA?</p>
