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

Foreign Language Teacher: 5/10. Was one of the best students in her class but I can't tell if she liked me much... but she doesn't like anyone so I was surprised

Schools: VANDY ED!

Hopefully my rank or being test-optional brings me down. Let me know!
