How can I get the Bank of America student leader internship?

Answered

I'm applying for the Bank of America student leader internship, which is incredibly selective, and I was wondering how I could stand out and be chosen. The application consists of recommendation letters, extracurriculars, and 6 supplemental questions, and the program it self is very focused on the community and leadership.

I'm definitely going to mention a book drive that I'm currently organizing which has already raised over 1000 books, but I don't know if that is good enough. For context, here is the track of my application:

Essay topics:

What challenges do you see in your community and how do you see yourself addressing those challenges now and in the future?

I'm talking about my book drive and how underprivileged kids lack access to books and how my book drive will address this issue

Describe a leadership challenge you have encountered, how you addressed that challenge and the personal growth you achieved from facing that challenge?

I'm talking about when I was tutoring through UPChieve, how a student was dissatisfied from my teaching and how though I initially was offended and started to doubt my teaching skills, I realized that I can't make everyone happy but I could refine my teaching skills by learning from criticism.

Who has inspired you as a leader and what have you learned about leadership from that person?

I'm talking about disney princess Moana because she was the first independent princess who didn't need a savior: her passion to help her people along with her bravery and courage pushed her to embark on an adventure across the dangerous waters even though she never even sailed before, and through all of her adventures, she became a master sailer and saved her whole island.

As you consider qualities of a successful leader, where do you see your opportunities for personal growth?

I'm going to highlight being humble and modest to take and leverage criticism.... for personal growth, I want to mention how I sometimes get offended or defensive easily but how I realize that I'm not perfect, and I have to look for opportunities to grow.

Why do you want to be a Bank of America Student Leader and why should you be chosen?

I've been a little stuck on this one because there isn't a whole lot of specific information, so I had to resort to personal testimonies of past student leaders. I think I want to talk about how I can find fresh new perspectives on different issues of the community, but then I also thought that since this is a longer essay, I could talk about how I'm perceptive of issues running through our community by tying in my role as an entertainment editor and how I'm quick to pick up on something and figuring out what causes it and what effect it has (it's kind of all over the place right now)

Please share a personal statement focused on what you feel is the most important issue facing young people today.

I want to talk about how rampant materialism in american society has pushed young people to set aside their passions in order to pursue things that they don't care about, and how they are pressured to set aside their happiness in order to make the most money. Through this, young people are essentially reduced to robots and are starting to become disconnected from the community because they are so hyper focused on being successful (materially).

I could use feedback on my current profile, especially my supplemental essays, but do you think something in particular can help me stand out?
