<p>Jason,</p>

<p>You sound like an outstanding student and person. I really hope you get in.</p>

<p>I'm curious how you found CC all the way in Nepal and why you particularly want it. </p>

<p>Your EC's are amazing. You might want to get some assistance in grouping them and writing them in a way that shows you off the best.</p>

<p>The "Why CC" essay is important. Be very detailed. Show in this essay not only why you want CC but also why you are a perfect fit for what CC offers.</p>

<p>I sent you another PM about the Block Plan. Feel free to contact me again if it helps.</p>

<p>Jason-the Block Plan essay can be alot of fun so have fun with it. It really only requires you to develop a sound bite (description) for a course you would develop if you could do anything that interests you for 3 1/2 weeks. Last year I did mine on the anthropology of service in America and included a service aspect to it as a final project...it wasn't any more than 1/4 of a page. Remember, it's part of the supplement so they are not looking for a very long piece. Be descriptive but you don't have to be overly detailed. I got in ED last year and love the place.</p>
