Some others I may be missing</p>
<p>Volunteer:
Several hundred hours, mostly doing some humanitarian work. One in particular, around 213 hours, stands out as I helped an NGO save millions of lives in Pakistan, after the Taliban drove out citizens from Swat and the neighbouring areas.</p>
<p>Some 90 hours at the hospital nearby, probably will end up getting another 50 or so from there.</p>
<p>The various NHS hours will add up to about 50, too.</p>
<p>Grades:
Straight A's all the way through. All my classes have been weighted classes, hence why my GPA is 5.0. </p>
<p>So! There's my profile, basically. I've also been thinking of starting my own Activist Club right here in my own school, too, but I'm not sure just yet. </p>
<p>If some admitted students have similar profiles, I'd be deeply obliged if they shared their thoughts. But even otherwise, thanks in advance!</p>
