1. GPA is fantastic.
2. I'm an amazing writer (4.0 sociology gpa - it was all written based). I can sell ice to a polar bear. My statement and application will stand out.
3. References are all saying I'm amazing. I've read them in advance. Also, one of the professors who is writing me one got his student an interview at Harvard by one phone-call.

Lastly, nothing is ever inappropriate on my social media. I have a great social footprint. I'm an entrepreneur to became successful at a very young age because I never used school as a plan A. People will respect that, considering it's going to make me stand out from the rest. And believe me, politics is the only reason why my cousin's ex got into dental school. If it wasn't for the 100k he was paying, there was no way he was going to get in. He blatantly admitted that. Applications run on politics. Politics have become very covert, it's an inside job. My professor told me all about it.

Not cocky at all, strictly facts. You interpreted cockiness through your own insecurities.
