It is a long list, but I do not know if it will be enough. My essays should be good enough, but I am not the strongest communicator. I think that the interviews and conveying your thoughts in these interviews are the most important aspects of the application, not the laundry list or activities. Still, I hope to at least make it to National Selection Weekend.

Good luck to all of the Jefferson Scholar Nominees in their insuing interviews.
