<p>Are you taking highly challenging classes? Your experience is phenomenal and frankly, I have a sense that kids who work at real jobs (bagging groceries, MacDonalds, bussing dishes) bring something authentic and real world to colleges. Colleges are inundated with kids who have voluntourism opportunities funded by their parents. You’ve done well. I would say Bowdoin would be pleased to get you. Good luck.</p>
