Yes, my reach list is far, far longer than it should be. Wanna make something of it?
For those who are morbidly curious:
( here're my stats which lead to the above headers. )On another college related note: When I needed a third recommendation for one of these, my programming teacher wrote me a ridiculously flattering 'rec, and the more I think about it the more I think it's pretty relevant to how I've spent my time in high school. I'm tempted to tack it onto some of the other apps as supplemental information or whatever, since most schools say it's ok to send more stuff, but I don't know... does that just look really really desparate? The reason I didn't ask her for my rec in the first place is that programming doesn't really count as a Major Academic Subject, and most rec forms say that's what it's gotta be. :/
