Stanford University — Supplemental

None UC Essays

cornell, carnegie mellon, harvey mudd — Supplemental

Interview Experiences
  • Stanford University
  • Performance/Outcome: We went past the 45 minute time slot, but the conversation still felt pretty stilted. It was still a pretty good conversation, though.
Letters of Recommendation
  • AP + Math Teacher

    Really close with her and got to read the letter, it was great.

  • History Teacher

    Didn't read the letter, but pretty sure it was good.
