<p>Recs.:
Counselor: Amazing. Even had a rep. from a college call me and tell me to make sure I thanked him it was so good.
Teacher 1: Very good. AP Chem teacher, and I aced his class.
Teacher 2: Good, not anything amazing though. More-attitude based.</p>

Common App: College counselor said it was one of the best she's ever read.</p>

<p>Specifics: I am not an amazing writer stylistically, but am quite humorous and to the point.</p>

<p>I’d say match for USC, Michigan, and Notre Dame. High match/low reach for Rice. More of a reach for Stanford and Columbia, just because they admit so few.</p>

<p>Depending on what you go to study, matches for USC, U of M, and Notre Dame. They shouldn’t be a challenge for you. Naturally, Stanford and Columbia will be difficult to be accepted to.</p>
