Lastly, your career goal has an obvious alignment with your past experiences; I would love to know what drove your interest in the public sector and think that would make for a strong personal narrative that connects the dots in your essays. Given you have so many strong points, you want to choose which to feature and how they come together. I think you should rise to the top of the pool given your experiences, though I think Stanford will be your biggest reach. Please feel free to reach out for a complimentary consultation if you would like to discuss how to incorporate the right stories into your essays!
