Subjective:
Essays: wrote one about how much i loved writing, my english teacher loved it and it really felt like it came from the heart so prolly good, the SFS essay i wrote about the Sudanese genocide and that i thought we should do something about it but we're too tied up in Iraq to act and no one's listening to Colin Powell (b4 he was fired), came straight from me as well, my gov teacher liked it so prolly good i guess??
Teacher Recs: one from my english teacher last year, she gave me a dept award last year and is an excellent writer who loves me, so prolly good, i didn't see it i wanted to give her privacy to be candid
Counselor Rec: i got it from my principal instead, she really likes me and i saw the rec, it was very good
Hook (if any): National Merit Semi-Finalist, National Hispanic Scholar (i think the race thing really helped), 2 foreign languages, 2 Varsity sports (year-round water polo), lots of political involvement, GREAT interview (she was like my dream ME in 30 years, hehe, we just chatted),
