[<em>] Essays: I thought they were pretty good. My common app was about the club Im a President of and how it relates to my heritage. I thought my Engineering essay was pretty good, although it probably could have been better and it did have a typo. My world I come from was pretty personal as well.

[<em>] Teacher Recs: I read one, AP Psychology teacher, and it was really well written and portrayed me well. He said I was one of his top students he ever taught. And he added in something about my baking which I didnt convey in my application. Although he did a bit of listing, which colleges already know about from the CA. The second was from my math teacher who liked me a great deal but who I know is brutally honest. I didnt get to read it but I am pretty positive it was a strong letter.
[</em>] Counselor Rec: My counselor doesnt really know me because he doesnt take the time to get to know everyone. Ive visited him over a hundred times in the last four years and he still doesnt know my name. But hopefully it was good. I gave him a resume and filled out this questionaire for him.

I’m really happy to get accepted. My first choice is Notre Dame, which will be a lot tougher for me to get into with my scores.
