Essay Topics

Common App Essay

It was really basic, I tried to use similar language as what the website had.

Letters of Recommendation
  • AP Chem Teacher

    I had her for AP Chem and Chem H, has plenty of experience writing recs, and we got along very well. Participated in her class frequently, and although her class was really difficult, she got to know me well and I absolutely love her.

  • AP Calc Teacher

    I participated in her class all the time when we were virtual. Didn't really talk to her privately a lot, but I absolutely loved her.

  • Post-Doc I interned with

    I knew him for 1 year, met him in person for the first time in August. I think he could really attest to my interest in research and willingness to learn.

  • Counselor

    Cookie-Cutter rec. I barely talked to her, only when I had to.
