Chance Me for Stanford

CC rules: you have to have your own account.

Not differentiating achieved and anticipated is not helpful.

Remember also that there is a point at which AO’s will look at a long list of high-commitment activities and wonder about just how plausible it is that any one ~17 year old would have the time to do all these things well. For example, you list 8 or 9 student groups that you are/have been head of- but in a class of 150 they can’t all be equally weighty. When we lived in Brazil we used to talk about the ‘thump’ factor: you go into a meeting and drop your files on the table and the other person does the same, with both people looking to have the biggest ‘thump’. Your list is kind of like that: throw everything and the kitchen sink on to it. Some editing and ranking will help with that.

Cameron Impact takes up to 15 people/year, so it’s hard to ‘chance’ anybody for that. You have as many fancy words in your post as most of the finalists that I have known, but obviously we don’t know much about the impact elements of your non-profit, and how all the pieces come together into a cohesive whole. That matters.

Written things can come across with a different tone than you mean them, but to me that reads as arrogant.
