Common App Essay
I wrote about being tall, and how that affected the way that I interpreted other people's reactions to me and my actions.
Interview Experiences
- University of Pennsylvania
- Performance/Outcome: Interviewer was very nice, but it was hard because it was on Zoom. I left the interview feeling confused, and like it didn't go well.
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Performance/Outcome: Interview was amazing! It lasted for an hour and a half, it was in person, and I felt like I made a really strong bond with my interviewer. He also sent me a bunch of videos afterwards that he thought I would like.
Letters of Recommendation
AP Calculus BC Teacher
9/10, he rarely writes letters of recommendation, but he liked me for some reason, so I asked him for a letter of rec. Research teacher also helped him write it and made sure it was good. He spent a lot of time on it, so I think it was really good.
Foreign Language Teacher
7/10, our class is very close, since we've been together for a while, and she understands my personality very well. Not as great because she had to write quite a few, and not core to my interests.
