Editor of both lit. mag and newspaper, section leader in jazz and concert bands all four years, drum major in marching band this year. </p>
<p>Hook: sexual health activism (essay on this), which has included writing for MTV.com and a nationally disseminated teen sexual health newsletter, being interviewed on Ntnl. Public Radio, by People magazine, by Teen Vogue magazine, and by KAtie Couric on Dateline, among other things. I sent one of my MTV articles as a supplement. </p>
<p>Other hook: creative writing, which included attending the Governor’s School of the Arts (NJ)–Creative Writing division, to which only 12 creative writers in the state were chosen. I had the time of my life, and wrote an essay on it.</p>
<p>I really wanna emphasize that, as you guys and gals can see, it’s not always about the numbers. (40)^2 isn’t everything; nor are ((40)^2)/2’s. </p>
<p>I dedicated myself to what I loved and tried to make myself as irresistible as possible by making myself “rise off the page,” so-to-speak, with strong essays and a supplementary resume that highlighted all the things I couldn’t fit on the application. </p>
<p>And then there’s the arbitrary nature to the process that you can’t control–so don’t try. Just do your best to stand out; be honest, thorough, thoughtful, inventive and irresistible, try to get those good grades, stress less about those darned SATs, and remember–it’s Senior Year. Try to have some fun!</p>
