<li><p>Beijing Social Work Development Center for Facilitators - Basically an organization for helping children of migrant workers to Beijing, did a couple weeks during the summer before Sophomore Year. I coordinated activities for poorer children.</p></li>
<li><p>Other community service - I participated in these for some time throughout my three years at high school. Unfortunately I'm not in any sort of leadership positions.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>a. SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) - Basically organization that promoted anti-drugs/alcohol awareness within school, etc.</p>
<p>b. Adopt a Grandparent - Spent time socializing and keeping the elderly company at nursing homes</p>

<p>I'm interested in studying economics/business, so I'm looking at schools like Chicago or MIT. Both coaches have responded favorably so far, especially Chicago. Should I be considering more or less competitive schools?</p>
