LOR:
My letters of REC are in process but one is from my English Teacher who is a Cornell grad and one from my counselor.
Okay, this is about where I'm at in the process, I really want to get accepted to UChicago, northwestern, NYU, Georgetown, or Cornell, or HYPS but 🤷🏼♂️ it's not easy! I have a BUNCH of extracurriculars more that could show different sides of me, so let me know if you notice any extracurriculars that are weaker comparatively. Wishing everyone the best of luck for their applications.
