Glad to hear from a fellow Organizer! Columbia is my first choice as well--definitely keep me updated. Best of luck to you!

I'm applying to 5. NYU, UPenn, Columbia, Michigan, WashU FINGERS CROSSED.

Hello all, I'm 3/5 into my applications and I am definitely getting the jitters from not knowing where I stand. Some of you have gotten into some amazing programs and seem to have some wonderful insight, so any input on my "chances" would be greatly appreciated! I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill May 2012 GPA 3.025-3.1? - I was the Campus Leader in a number of student organizations including UNICEF and political organizations - Had 1-year internships with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF and Organizing for America - Volunteered for a semester with a local immigration and refugee organization - Volunteered for a year with a local human rights center - Was a teaching assistant for a social justice course for a semester - Worked overseas for 5 months with developmentally challenged children with the United Nations Children's Fund - Have received a few honors such as The President's Volunteer Service Award, selected for an internship with the - White House, a public service grant, and an international research travel scholarship. - Participated in a couple other political activities over the years but were nothing major - Grew up in a developing country and had a unique upbringing, so I'll include that in my essay as a personal experience - My recommendations are from a Professor that knew me very well, a Director from the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, and a Director from Organizing for America, which was the President's national campaign team. However, my worries are primarily my low GPA and my activities are ALL part-time unpaid and volunteer. With the exception of the 5 months overseas for the United Nations, I have never had a full time paid service experience. I am applying to mainly clinical programs at: UPenn Columbia NYU Michigan Southern California Thoughts?
