<p>Recommendations:
English Teacher and AP Gov Teacher, focusing on my abilities as a student and as a leader. They'll probably be phenomenal.</p>
<p>Interviews:
My Georgetown interview went beautifully. I had a chill old guy who was the VP of a pasta company. We talked for an hour and 45 minutes (don't know if that's good or not lol), but it was hearty conversation filled with lots of laughter. The guy wound up asking me my opinions on how Rome fell, and I also wound up talking about my grandpa as a chinese ambassador to Rhodesia a few decades ago. All in all, I had a gut feeling that it went well.</p>
<p>Essays:
I have faith in my essays; I sang my heart out and gave it my all. In the end, if I do wind up getting into an Ivy or two, it's probably gonna be because of these babys. My English teacher said that they were some of the most random, yet defining and eye-opening pieces he had ever had the pleasure of reading.</p>
