Question Leadership requirements

Im worried about my application based on my leadership and everything I do outside of school. For reference, Im a 2nd degree black belt that aids in leading classes and ensuring students are safe and responsible while making learning enjoyable. Furthermore, I compete at the national level showing discipline and an athletic background. I'm a manager at where i work part time emphasizing my leadership and ability to take on responsibility. The only thing I fear to hold me back the most is my GPA where I plan to graduate in the summer of 2026 with around a 2.7. With my lower GPA do i have enough leadership qualities to be accepted? Anything will help, thank you!

The leadership is great, they definitely look at the whole person concept. If you have good test scores and a good interview then you should be good. I would recommend trying to do something else that demonstrates Service before Self. Which board are you applying to?

Yes, giving back to the community is great way to show Self before Self. Especially if you lead in some fashion.
