Request for Feedback on My Motivation Letter for Turkey Scholarship?
Hi everyone, I am applying for the Turkey Burslari / KAU scholarship and I have drafted my motivation letter / SOP. I would really appreciate it if you could give me some feedback on clarity, structure, and impact. Here is my draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wHT2B3otW-3F6zDTdQ5nvUrE9HOPLx1g3xCLazi9ggQ/edit?usp=sharing A few things I am especially concerned about: Does it clearly explain why I want to study Computer Science? Does it show my interest in studying in Turkey? Is the story flow and structure easy to follow? Any other improvement suggestions are welcome. Thank you so much for your help!
How can I submit the best possible recommendation letters to colleges like UC Berkeley?
I have just received an email from UC Berkeley asking me for some recommendation letters. I'm not quite sure who to ask for those. I asked my internship supervisor, and she'll write me one. For the second one, I had this tecaher i had a good relationship with, but she retired and just has a regular email, not the SFUSD email. Does it matter that I send this request for the letter even though she doesn't have a school email? Will college admission officers see this wierd?

Should I include my political volunteering in my applications and resumes?
I am an Executive Intern for the Young Republicans of Bexar County, and I do a lot of work for them as well. I was selected to be an intern despite only being in high school which is very honorable. However, with bias against conservatives on college campuses, will "liberal" colleges look down upon my work as an EI for the Young Republicans when they would commend the same work if I volunteered for the Young Democrats? Should I even include it on my resumes and applications? #politics #colleges #collegeapplication #applications #resume

I go to a virtual public school where, unlike public schools, there is no number of mandatory community service hours needed to graduate. However, it is still possible to have volunteer hours in your school record. I want to know if community service can improve my chances of getting accepted into a good college or if it won't change my image at all. #school #communityservice #collegeapplication #college

How do you stand out in college applications?
Amidst the numerous students who have perfect GPA's and ACT/SAT scores, it is important to stand out in other ways. However, what necessarily makes one appear to have more potential? Clubs? Sports?
