I appreciate your help and am curious to know if I would be a competitive candidate for these programs. What areas could I improve in? Thank you.
The information above is competitive, but not necessarily compelling. I don't see much leadership in the information you provided, and these schools will look for leadership or organizational ability. I also don't see any travel or international exposure. Anything you can do between now and when you apply that allows you to show organizational ability or exposes you to different cultures will be good.
