Essay was about childhood comics and how I overcame my fear of humanities classes (lols) after I was told to stick to what I'm "good at."
Short answer was about being biracial and learning how to find and love differences in people, and how I would like to bring that perspective to vandy.
JROTC Instructor: 7/10. He liked me but he probably used ChatGPT
