Essay Topics
Common App Essay
I talked about how my love of Latin was a slow one.
st. john's — Supplemental
I think this is one of the best things I have ever written.
huntsman — Supplemental
I feel like I rambled a little, but I still tried to make a point.
Interview Experiences
- Harvard University
- Performance/Outcome: This was a pretty basic interview.
- Yale University
- Performance/Outcome: This one had a bit of a rocky start.
- Princeton University
- Performance/Outcome: This was my first interview, so I was not entirely comfortable.
- University of Pennsylvania
- Performance/Outcome: This was an interview specifically for Penn Huntsman.
- Georgetown University
- Performance/Outcome: Again, the interviewer was really personable, but we just did not gel.
Letters of Recommendation
Latin Teacher
He's taught me for 4 years, is the sponsor of the quiz bowl and ethics bowl teams, and has written me other recommendations in the past.
Chemistry Teacher
She's taught me for 3 years, and chemistry is really the only science at which I excel.
Econ Teacher
I only had her for one year, and it was my lowest grade in high school.
Counsellor
This was probably just a generic counsellor letter.
