[<em>] Essays: Fantastic. I wrote very passionately about my interests.
[</em>] Teacher Recs: One was AMAZING, two pages, no spacing. He let me read it; he spoke about my abilities in class and how I handled presenting a paper to a UN related association, fielding questions from the judges etc. The second one wasn't as fantastic but was pretty good.

[</em>] Supplementary Material: Research essay I did over the summer for a competition.
