Chance a German International for Ivys

I’m letting this all sink in, how incredibly political engaged you’ve been within your state’s party structure, but also your highly relevant, full-year internship (?) at the state legislature - and showing a genuine multi-year commitment to those extracurriculars!

Then you have a creative side, producing your TikTok channel.

You do have a great resume and certainly don’t need to worry about any other “clubs”.

And the fact that you’re fluent in three languages, have been ranked the #1 in your grade for three years straight is further testimony to your academic prowess.

I very much hope that you’ll beat the odds and will find a college that appreciates your above-average potential.

To gain a better understanding, may I ask:

I can’t wrap my head around a German school offering U.S. AP classes - especially the way you described the school environment?
Were all these classes conducted in German, and the AP exam administered in English?

If you’re comfortable saying - does that nuance mean you are German resident, but possibly not an E.U. citizen?

Any chance, that your state’s party chair might write you a letter of recommendation, maybe your city’s mayor where you’re serving in a committee (sounds like a larger city, so there might be name recognition), or a state assemblyman, using their parlamentary letterhead?
These are all things that can make YOUR application stand out, and more memorable, among the thousands that an admissions officer will review. It might also help them justifying to themselves to use their sparse financial aid on an international student.
