Essays (rating 1-10, details):
Common app: 8/10. Talked about being a minority in many different ways (race, gender, etc) and got really philosophical about music and space and time and how it affects my life.
Roommate: 8/10. Very true to myself, showed fun aspects of my personality.
Learning: 9/10. Quirky story about what made me love physics (my intended major).
Meaningful: 9/10. Talked about volunteering at a hospital and how I now see the world through the eyes of all the people I met.
Recommendations (rating 1-10, details):
Teacher Rec #1: Physics teacher: 10/10. Have had him 2 years, am able to talk to him about basically anything.
Teacher Rec #2: Orchestra director: 10/10. Probably talked about how she moved schools the year I became president so I had to take over parts of her job.
Counselor Rec: 7/10. I go to a big public school so counselors do not know people well so I asked my principal to write mine and although he doesn’t know me that well, I think it carries weight that my principal wrote it instead of counselors (?)
Additional Rec: French teacher: 7/10. Have had her 2 years, knows me relatively well because I’m co-pres of FNHS.
Interview: 10/10. Went extremely, overwhelmingly well. Interviewer said I was one of the best candidates he has ever interviewed. Had a genuine conversation and by the end we were making jokes and he was roasting me in a family-like way (lol). Said I make him excited for the future of Stanford and the world.
