You don’t have to consciously try to "impress adcoms.’ You have to be the sort of kid who, quite naturally, as a result of his interest, commitment and energy, did hold responsibilities and show leadership in ways that matter to them. It’s a myth that top adcoms just want to see you are “passionate.” The need to see how you took some driving interests and some sense of the need out there and did something of value.

All we can tell you is whether we think you have a resonable and logical shot- and you do, if you make a solid self presentation in the app. (Here we are, giving thoughts- and even we don’t have a sense of your impact, beyond Costa Rica,) When someone says, the competition is fierce, it means the kids who settle for a few hs clubs, x comm service hours, maybe one centerpiece activity, great stats and some awards…sure they may make it to the final round, but be expendible, in light of the accomplishments of the others.

Lorem said someone has to go to bat for you- secret tip: that first person has to be you.

Cyclist, I think you mean he had few hs leadership titles- I think his commitment, the internship and taking on the challenge of the languages, are a form of leadership that counts. I’d guess his LoRs noted academic and peer leadership.
