• Answer:

  Everything you have done sounds great. But sometimes it is just showing that you have other qualities than school. Some times a great story or background that led you to where you are today could really help. I have known some very smart people like great resumes but so do hundreds of other kids, you have to show something special about yourself that makes them want to let you in.
