  • planning on discussing my interest in health and fitness (and having one of my group exercise instructors write me a letter of rec.) and my love of the all women’s gym that I go to! I LOVE IT
  • planning on writing about seeing my dad struggle with and overcome his alcoholism, and the perspective and new mindset I gained from witnessing it

you look like a competitive applicant. Just keep in mind, schools like that are finicky so, you still may not get in. Apply broadly. A couple privates, a couple UCs and a Cal State or two for good measure,

good luck.
