<p>Note; this is only so far. I’m sure I will achieve much more.</p>
<p>Quit the Conservative Party and you’ll be fine. All the hours of community service won’t look too good when you’re supporting a party that tries to rape and take away everything from the less privileged in order to support the richest members of society and doesn’t care about any country, including the ones in Africa, except their own.</p>
<p>Harvard is trash if it would think of denying someone entrance because of not being a liberal or anything else. I would ignore them ElWilson, they are probably just high schoolers who don’t know much and try to fit in by jumping on the liberal collegian bandwagon while bashing everything else. Your stats looked great from what I’ve seen on this website.</p>
<p>Generally, it’s quite easy to get involved into Economics. I joined a society and actively participated, and wrote my summary of the Economic crisis and the drastic inflation in Peru. And how Globalisation had effected this for the worse.</p>
<p>Obviously I haven’t just joined up, I’ve actively published essays and participated in research etc.</p>
<p>I know! I feel the American Conservative’s are abit booed and hissed, and are perhaps portrayed as money stealing, poor ridiculing tossers.</p>
<p>Ace, do you think I should show my Conservative membership and involvement as a “Main Political Party”, so I am immune from any disadvantagement.</p>
<p>Yep I think so. You never know what kind of mad lefty might be reading your application. Plus I don’t think many Americans will appreciate the fact that the Conservatives have become rather wishy washy of late (no offence ;)) I can understand why the Republicans are looked down upon though - American politics seems completely corrupt and evil.</p>
<p>So what kind of stuff did you research for your Economics Society? Just stuff on Peru? Are you Peruvian by any chance? What sort of ‘intense’ research were you doing on political economy?</p>
<p>Also what’s working for a think tank like? What sort of stuff do you do?</p>
<p>I’m surprised you guys won at Henley - big rowing school? Never fear, we shall win next year haha. The guys just need to practice a bit more on our Olympic-standard rowing lake ;)</p>
<p>Yeah, just stuff on Peru and how other areas around it have know emerging and propsperus markets. No I’m not Peruvian. Working at the ThinkTank was alright. There’s a hefty amount of paper work involved; but you’re taught v. well on how to analyise the economy etc. </p>
<p>The “intense” research was simply under the aspect of the Think Tank.</p>
