I also need someone to review the essay #1 if anyone is willing.

Is it just a list or can you describe the activity?. What they do is more important than the title.

Work experience is important.

Being president could be. Being a church member - not important. Now, if they were a church member and participated on a food drive that raised 10,000 and provided 5000 meals - that’s important. Why i ask the question.

I PM’ed you back about the essay. Others may too.

Write out your activities and accomplishments in each. What solid you accomplish?

Then go from there.

Then you can choose the 5 or 6 things that were impactful - one of which should be the job.

That’s my opinion.

Thanks.

Being a member doesn’t say much - why I don’t like honor societies. If you deliver meals on wheels or read to kids, that’s saying something. Quantify where you can.
