Colleges are looking for students who are likely to represent their institution well on the national or global stage. They accept people based upon who they think will promote the name of the school, essentially. Although it may seem like demonstrated commitment in a relationship is significant enough to show this, you are not really telling the university how you are going to make them happy about accepting you, about what you are going to go on to do in the future. Volunteering for an AIDS organization or something like that does.
