Job/Work Experience/Volunteer/Community service:
I work(ed) for/with various local → state politicians, including at one point the Comptroller of NYC. I helped in various campaigns, political events, fund raisers etc, interviewed as part of a campaign of one of said politicians. Received a rec. from high ranking politician, I read it over and it rocked.
I’m currently involved in a TV Pilot so this is my “current job”. This was noted in my application.

Essays:
Personal Statement: Very very interesting way I wrote it, I don’t want to go into specifics about the structure but it was very different. About my “life story” per say and how I realized exactly what I wanted to do. I was told by multiple professionals and peers that it was one of the best they’ve ever read.
Teacher Recommendation: Both hopefully good.
Counselor Rec: He really likes me and noted how I helped my peers with their applications.
Additional Rec: Stated above.
Additional points: I connected my interest in politics to business throughout my app. A major part of my application is the “crazy”, for lack of a better word, changes I’ve made to my life. In school, outside of school etc. This was integrated into my essay. I lost 52 pounds amongst other things.
