<p>As the time is getting closer, I am being more anxious :( The main reason is probably because I leave all my tests to my senior year. I really appreciate any input in here!</p>
<p>I transferred from school in China to US high school in my junior year. So I got a little behind in everything and obviously I am not a good test taker...</p>

<p>will work for a state attorney running for congressman this coming fall</p>
<p>p.s. is it weird to see an international to get involved so much in US politics?</p>
<p>Recommendation letters:
I'm going to ask my International Politics teacher to write me one and my math teacher for another.Additionally the congressman whom I worked for this summer will write me one and a member of board of trustee in Georgetown,whose also the alum from SFS will write me one too. I dont know if there's any limitation for rec letters. </p>
<p>essay:</p>
<p>As I mentioned above I am the founder and leader of the darfur genocide intervention foundation chapter in china, I personally suffered a lot of harshness and pressure from government for holding a pannel and gathering members. So I'm thinking of choosing my SFS essay topic as the analysis of darfur genocide. I don't know if it's good to write the same thing again in my personal essay,like introducing my passion for helping out despite of the pressure.</p>
<p>I am getting dreadfully anxious these days since I am still struggling with all the standardized tests while others have already begun application process. I hope we all can help each other go through this period of time and finally get in whichever college you wish to go!=) Again I really appreciate all the inputs in here :)</p>
