Essays: Wrote about always having grown up being in the middle in various circumstances and how I grew out of it to work towards becoming an engineer, and also about how my perspectives and beliefs on people of different gender identities changed when I met a few important friends on my trip to Japan. Another short answer I wrote that I thought was great was on why I'd like to get to know Alan Turing someday and how he's influenced me and my path towards becoming an engineer.
Teacher Recommendations: My Stats teacher's letter is definitely 10/10. He knows me personally and writes the best and most thoughtful letters for me. My AP English teacher is also who I got along with very well but she gave me her letter to read and it wasn't that great, it was very short and brief, but, I can't change it.
Counselor Rec: She knows me personally as well, I'm sure it's decent. But at the same time I'm not sure.
Other: Since both my parents run a nail salon and are self employed as well with no other employees to help out, I haven't had a lot of time to participate in my extracurriculars at school for long or much. Although I could've also used my resources and time better, I feel that this is the best I got and I hope for the best for RD :')
