Interview Experiences
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Performance/Outcome: Had a tech issue that made me join late. Conversation felt really forced and didn't go smoothly because I didn't have enough questions to ask her and she barely had any for me. Rating: 5/10
  • Northwestern University
  • Performance/Outcome: Interviewer barely asked me any questions and just talked about the school the whole time. Rating: 6/10
  • Princeton University
  • Performance/Outcome: She ended it after 15 minutes which actually shocked me because I thought it was going well. Rating: 1/10
Letters of Recommendation
  • 11th Grade Language Arts Teacher

    I feel that this was the worst part of my application, I've always had a really hard time making connections with teachers and it's something I want to work on. This also wasn't helped by the fact that the teachers I wanted to ask left the school and I only got to know these teachers minimally through virtual Zoom school. Rating: 5/10

  • BC Calculus Teacher

    I didn't participate in class much and he always complained about writing rec letters. We also never really had any conversations either. Rating: 3/10
