<p>Ok, the early action deadline is approaching (in 2 days..) and I'm starting to feel like I need some reassurance here. Mainly because I haven't had a ton of time to work on my essays; they'll be decent but I haven't had time to really reflect on them so I don't know whether they'll be enough to get me in... I know my stats are good but the acceptance rate is only 18% so I'm wondering if anyone has any insight. Not that there's really anything I can do about it now, but just so I have an idea of what to expect as a result. Thanks!</p>

I thought my recommendations were great and emphasized my character; one is from my chemistry teacher, one is from my journalism sponsor, and one is from my XC coach/ philosophy teacher. Tried to write the essays to show how I fit their outdoorsy yet intellectual vibe. </p>
