Recs: Asking my Spanish teacher who’s had me for the last two years and the NHS advisor who was my APUSH and AP Psych teacher; if one of them doesn’t work out I’ll ask my junior year English teacher
Common App Essay: The one I wrote as an end-of-year assignment for English was well-liked by both the teacher and my friends, but I’m just worried about the topic being cliche. That being said, if I don’t come up with a better essay I’d be okay using it.
Supplemental Essay: Have narrowed it down to two questions but haven’t started quite yet.
