Thoughts? I’m applying in state only bc cheap tuition. Also it looks like the weakest part of my app is definitely the leadership as I don't really have anything too crazy going on over there, but I was talking to someone and they said I could maybe try to spin some of my tutoring experience into leadership?? I also trained some people at my CNA job so there’s that as well.
