[<em>]Essays:
Why Swarthmore: one of, if not my favorite of the essays I wrote in the college process
Academic/Life Experience: I liked this essay. Very high language. Critics strongly disliked it. Submitted it anyway.
[</em>]Teacher Recs: One from AP US History teacher. Very good.
One from last year’s British Literature teacher. Waived my right and never saw this one. However, I was the only junior in a senior English class and she really liked me. Neither rec was very (not at all) resume based.
[<em>]Counselor Rec: Doubt it was exceptionally strong. Class of 900 students. My counselor has 300 of them. Not a very personal relationship.
[</em>]Supplementary Material: None
[li]Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): [/li]URM. Athlete (not recruited)</p>

<p>[/ul]Personal[ul]

<p>[/ul]Other[ul]
[<em>]Extracurricular: Track and Field, Journalism, Choral Music, Academic Team, Honors Societies, FBLA

[li]General comments: Swarthmore’s been my first choice for some time now. Tried my best to convey this in that essay. Was also admitted to DiscoSwat - the experience upon which I laid the foundation for my essay. Good luck to everyone else in the class of 2014 awaiting their decision. Good luck to any of the prospective Swatties reading this in the future.[/li][/ul]</p>
