I wrote about how volunteering is an important part of my life because I grew up receiving all these social services programs and I'm very grateful for them, so it enables myself to become a daily volunteer</p>

<p>For the global issue; I talked about the Buddhist Monks in Myanmar and how monks are supposed to be nice and not involved in government, but Pro-Democracy is a huge thing right now, and I believe it should be allowed in Myanmar.</p>

<p>Wow. </p>

<p>I'm glad you're not applying to the College. :P I'm applying EA too, so I can't really say, but I think your chances are verry good. Best of luck!</p>

3

<p>I think your scores may be towards the lower end for georgetown sfs but your ECs are great so you've got really good chances</p>

4

<p>Your chances are good. But, NHS is only 3 years. NHS doesnt start until 10th grade and you have it listed from 9-12. I don't think that being mayor for a day is enough of a hook. I think it's a really fun thing and interesting, but not a hook.</p>

5

<p>oh. at my school, we have NHS since 9th grade. Because theres a NJHS/NHS and they're connected so people counts it as just NHS. That's why I listed it as 9-12. And I'm sure being mayor for a day isn't a hook. But then again, it was good experience.</p>

<p>bump...</p>

<p>thankssss</p>
