Counselor Rec: New counselor so maybe generic but the rec was good
Essays: Not the best writer but everyone loves my essay. it was dealing with my initial experiences in a foreign country(Ireland) and the troubles that came with it. Wrote a slightly humorous one for the invention one and wrote about teaching math and playing tennis for the short answers.
Interview: Went pretty well I think. The guy took about 4 pages of notes on me and we talked for about an hour. We hit some common topics in math such as combinatrics and number theory so we chatting about those for a long time. really interested in my background.</p>

<p>^ You’ll learn tomorrow. :slight_smile: I’m sure you can wait.</p>

<p>BUT…your stats look very good. Your extracurriculars are very stellar and your situation is pretty deviating from the norm. Overall, I think you have as much as a chance as anyone. The SAT score…I’m not too sure, but it looks like you are a well-rounded individual who goes beyond in more than one area. So, don’t lose hope! Good luck!</p>
