Common App Essay

Put weeks of time and effort into my personal statement, counselor wanted me to apply as an English major because of how good he thought it was

Interview Experiences
  • Georgetown University
  • Performance/Outcome: First interview, was pretty nervous at first but figured it out pretty quickly, had a good but unremarkable conversation
  • Dartmouth College
  • Performance/Outcome: Talked with the guy for like 2 hours, seemed to really like me and told me he'd strongly recommend me
  • Columbia University
  • Performance/Outcome: Had an admissions officer and a professor, professor asked me tough questions I answered pretty well but the admissions officer pressed me about the Core and I just wasn't able to give a great response
Letters of Recommendation
  • English Teacher

    Probably pretty good, we talked a lot and had a good relationship

  • Math Teacher

    Did well in her class but didn't know her, definitely run of the mill

  • Counselor

    We'd known each other for four years, probably my favorite faculty member at my school, probably pretty good
