Here is my concerns and questions.
1. I think my academic stats are okay; however, I am little worried about lacking extracurriculars. I know I should not compare myself with other applicants, but people in here post with crazy numbers like 1500 work experience and volunteering or president of some organization. I am not too sure if my lacking extracurriculars will significantly weaken my application.
2. I used path32 and some google search to finalize my school list. I am not too sure if applying 12 schools enough. I am thinking to add Louisville and Ohio state. What do you think? Do you guys recommend any other schools?
3. This question is HPSP specific questions. I am currently speaking with army recruiter to apply for HPSP program. While waiting for my recruiter to prepare for my package, is there anything I need to prepare? (Like more LORs, essay, physical requirement). Also, I got my citizen ship not too long about 2years ago. Would this significantly lower my chance of joining HPSP program?
