I don’t see what point you’re trying to prove, seeing as I already that “I know that a lot of people truly want to contribute to society”. It seems to me like you’re trying to say that since I want to go to Harvard, I should want to be interested in public service. I clearly understand that most of these people do care, and I clearly stated that I don’t. All I’m trying to say about “playing the game” is that if I make it convincing that I care, it shouldn’t matter whether I truly do or not.
