<p>dude, the national youth leadership thing isn’t really being ‘selected’… that’s something that almost everyone gets. they dress it up in a fancy envelope and stuff, but it’s really more of just a summer thing that you pay money to go to. </p>

<p>other than that, your ECs look strong. SAT I is a little weak but maybe your new scores will be better. good luck to ya.</p>
