<p>Sorry, but I don’t see anything outstanding here- fairly run of the mill for competetive students. I hope your grades are good.</p>

8

<p>your extracurriculars are fine for duke! euro gov internship is definitely something spectacular.</p>

<p>Thanks! Alex (or anyone), does the Euro internship not stand out? I realize they may not care it was in Europe, but an experience in a national government is unique, no?</p>

10

<p>^Or is it not that unique? I’m just wondering</p>

11

<p>I’m thinking of doing ED if that changes things</p>
