Can an essay and teach recs carry one so far ? Op mentioned his passion for the arts yet have not reported getting any major reward or recognition for it.</p>

<p>This must be a modern miracle. Op has the admission gods smiled not just one time but 9 times.</p>

e) Child of President of another country.
f) None of the above.
g) All of the above.</p>
