**Letters of Recommendation**
**AP Econ Teacher** (8/10): I really really loved my econ teacher and he’s the reason I wanted to pursue something involving econ. I didn’t do amazing on the exams but it was probably the best Ive ever been in class because of his teaching and our rapport. He was also my AdComp advisor which helped strengthen our relationship and I think he definitely wrote a strong letter
**AP Gov Teacher** (9/10): Again, loved my gov teacher and she was my main recommendation for abroad applications. She helped me get actually interested in the function of both US and world governments. Model UN advisor as well we just had a really strong student/teacher bond.
**AP/Honors Physics** (7/10): Definitely wrote a very good letter but I don’t have as strong of a relationship with him as I do my humanities teachers. I’m a bit more of a clown in his class, I do well but I’m not very scientifically inclined.
**Interviews**
None 😛😛😛
Rotman supplemental might count and I did pretty well for not actually talking to anyone but a prompt
**Essays**
My main common app essay was most definitely my strongest. I used Fernando Alonso and F1 as a parallel to a mental health journey I had and my work to climb back. It took months of writing and rewriting but I was really proud of it. Had it read but multiple teachers and a professor.
A lot of my supplementals probably could have been stronger but my main goal was to try and make each one a story. I don’t like just writing about myself so I tried making them more story-esque and incorporating like literary stuff.
My UCAS personal statement was kind of weak and in hindsight I definitely should have done more work on it to truly refine it.

**Additional Information:**
And I am going to………Edinburgh!!!! This was a really tough choice between there and Toronto but I felt like Edinburgh just offered so many opportunities for fun and academia that could help me if I want to go to law school. Might have missed out on all my private schools and the ultimate dream but oh well. Shoot for the stars and you’ll land on the moon kids 😛😛😛
