<p>As I was enrolling for the Barack Obama campaign, I decided to put my volunteer hours in my app, is this somthing negative to have? I am not sure but I also put it in my scholarship applications. Is it ok to show you have a political side?</p>
<p>Not only is in okay, I believe it to be an excellent thing to do. Not matter which political party you are involved in, it shows a level of commitment that I think Barnard's adcom will appreciate.</p>
<p>Good for you! (Even though I personally will not vote for your guy :) )</p>
<p>DD worked for dems and worked at a fundraiser attended by Hillary years ago. Discussed in her application. She was admitted and attends. Hm. Adversary! (Just kidding.)</p>
<p>I did not mean to take a side or anything or in hope that the school will support him, Barack:)! but even in scholarship applications, I feel that if i have dedicated myself to phone calling, rallying and even fundraising, I hope that they atke that into consideration andd not be biased at the present cirmcunstances.</p>
<p>Hey, tht is so cool!</p>
<p>I feel fairly certain they wouldn't. Don't worry.</p>
<p>I wrote about my work for Hillary; I really wouldn't worry. Your political involvement shows that you are engaged and I imagine just like schools can't discriminate in the basis of religion, they wouldn't do so on the basis of political affiliation.</p>
<p>Er, you are talking about attending college at the university where Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was invited to speak last semester.... I don't think you can shock them with a quote from Che Guevara.</p>
<p>Haha, I'd have to agree with the above post!</p>
<p>Banard =/= Columbia</p>
<p>Yes, one of my applications was sent to Columbia. As much as an enemy people may see him as, I belief that we grow through siiting down with our opponent, we learn and try to gain peace by speaking and not avoiding.</p>
<p>lorie2690: If you mean me, I was kidding because of the Hillary/Obama split.</p>
<p>No its, ok, myth, I meant to talk about the Barnard=Columbia connection, and mahmoud's visit. I am catually absolutely fine with your opinion, I must even thank you for replying!</p>
<p>I replied to Calmom.........</p>

<p>Calmom got it exactly right.</p>
<p>Well, one's opinion can not completely grade or rate a school. The lack of facing and consulting with the opponent has been going on too much in this country!</p>
<p>But thanks for responding!</p>
<p>If you want to shock the admissions committee talk about the time you spent volunteering for Focus on the Family. The won't even notice Che.</p>
<p>HAHA props to Mardad's comment.</p>
