In contrast with all these other applicants I went beyond AP-level Spanish. I took an Independent Study Class where I did extensive study of Don Quijote as analyzed from a Veteran’s point of view (Cervantes was a veteran of the Battle of Lepanto and lost his hand) and compared it with the Vietname war. I did as much research as online resources and the UC system would allow(I had access to UCLA’s library). I think that if I were to extend this and turn my 20 page paper into a 100 page one, I could easily turn it into a thesis for a Ph.D on sociology or cultural anthropology
