Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): First generation American college student, came to OSU looking to change the campus and help make a difference. Want to focus on leadership on campus seeing that i have no out of school work experience. Since 2009, founding member/president of an Acappella group that helped OSU start its acappella scene, Chairman of the Dean's student advisory board, rock climbing instructor at our climbing wall as well as public relations supervisor, mentor to a fourth grader, and chinese language tutor.
Strength of LOR (be honest, describe the process, etc): Again, seeing my professional experience is lacking I will have to use my professors and internship coordinators. First is my advisor for four years who has helped me get all my internships and knows me very well. 2nd is my professor in Washington, DC of whom used to be the dean to a small liberal arts college and currently runs an osu internship program in DC. 3rd will be the assistant to osu's arts and sciences dean of whom I now from working on the advisory board.
