Essay under revision (hopefully great!)
I currently am captain of both the Debate and Economics teams (I founded the economics club), was a semi-finalist at Coolidge Cup, won third at the High School Fed Challenge (a first in my school’s history), won numerous first place prizes for the NYCUDL including as a quarterfinalist, and did hands-on aid work in the 8th grade in Bangladesh. I run an off school newspaper and my own detailed economics blog with hundreds of viewers, and on top of this I am currently a healthcare researcher and consultant for an aid mission in Bangladesh that works with Rohingyan refugees.
My grades also dropped in late Junior year due to a traumatic incident that happened to me and violated me (I am seeing therapy though my situation is still pretty bad).
I just want to know what my chances are at Lehigh for ED.
