<li><p>I write freelance (paid - $50 per article) for Cracked.com, and I’ve had 19 published articles read by an audience of over 5 million people </p></li>
<li><p>Runner up at my high school’s film festival 2009, winner 2010 (that same short video also won my school’s Best of Show at our annual Variety Show)</p></li>
<li><p>I’m leading a student organization to confront our School Board about some seriously questionable actions by my school’s administration (I can provide some news links and a link to the Facebook event if anyone is interested). As of this writing, the school board meeting is tomorrow, and over 300 people have signed up to attend on Facebook - I’ll let you guys know how it goes</p></li>
<li><p>This probably doesn’t do much in my favor, but I met Danny Boyle at a 127 Hours screening and wrote about how I made him laugh out loud in one of my supplemental statements</p></li>
<li><p>As a part of my school’s VEI class (we run our own fake business, and everyone in the class has a “job”. I’m the webmaster), I went to the annual Tennessee Trade show (fake companies come together for a fake trade show, that sort of thing), and my website made the Top 10 finalists</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Okay wow, that was a lot of typing, but I wanted to exhaust everything I could pull out of myself. What do you guys think are my chances of getting in?</p>
