<p>Hey, hityy2, your stats indicate that you far from clueless. You seem like a good candidate for admission. Did you state in your application why you would like to attend CMC and why the school would be a good fit for you? If someone has a good reason for wanting to go to CMC, I think it is helpful.</p>

<p>Thank you! In the really short answer question about why CMC I talked about how its emphasis on leadership is appealing and necessary for the professional field I want to get into (international relations). In my long analytical essay, I ended it with how I’d like to further advise my leader of choice by developing my own leadership skills at CMC so that my advice would be more reliable. I know it sounds general but I just don’t want to give away too much of my essay.</p>
