Essay is about passion for politics.

How do I look for Georgetown, Penn and Brown (I'm applying to the arts & sciences college at each one)

creating a blog at a blog template site does not mean you created your own website, don't even bother listing that.

the "national student leadership conference" i am pretty sure is atleast partly a scam or a way to make money since it costs so much friggin money and they offer it to practically everyone.

I think you have a good shot.

Yea, I changed that to "author or political weblog"

I figure it's worth listing because i do a lot of writing on it.

yeah but make it pretty

"If Dean win's Iowa and New HAmpshire (polls show him leading in both) Gephardt and Kerry would likely be finished. That would leave Dean, Lieberman and maybe Edwards still in contention. The next primary states would be South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arizona -- all states that are more conservative thn Iowa and New Hampshire. Lieberman's strategy is to concede Iowa and New Hampshire, and wait for the latter primaries, where his moderate message might help him."

i'm not being carping, i just think that you should correct those typos and mistakes before an admissions officer looks at it.

Ha! I didn't even realize those. Thanks a lot.

So what do you think about my chances?

One thing- don't list those last two AP scores, especially for Penn and Brown.
