<p>You have A LOT of time to prepare yourself well for the application! Start focusing on volunteering and exploring what your own interests in life are. I would suggest you attempt to try to focus your volunteering activities on what your interests are in life. If as an applicant you can show direction with your life through passion and commitment, you will definetly stand out. Are you currently looking at any leadership positions in any club or organization? Is there anyone who you think would write you a great letter of rec?</p>
