Letters of Recommendation

4 LOR's:

- AP Econ from junior year, he liked me a lot so I think it's like a 7 or 8 out 10. He writes a lot of LOR's, so I think it's pretty good but not unique.

- AP Lang from this year, we have a really great relationship and he doesn't write LOR's usually so 10/10.

- CTO of Y-Combinator backed startup, amazing letter, read it and was probably an 11/10.

- Director of OHSU, she's known me since freshman year and helped me get an internship in a lab last summer, so I think it's probably a 9/10.

Essays

I think my essays honestly were amazing. I don't want to sound conceited but I put a lot of time into all of them and they were all extremely personal. My PS was about eating Lucky Charms cereal in the middle of the night and reflecting on the ups and downs of my life and how I envision the rest of my life to pan out based on past experiences.

GPA is pretty low, but retook important courses like Calc AB/BC online, getting A's in both semesters for both courses, which is not factored into my high school GPA. Idk how much it'll help but I think it'll help at least a little
