If I was responsible for admissions, and your first post here was your response to the prompt, I would have immediately accepted you. "explaining your reasons for wanting to volunteer in Armenia" That's evident from your post. "how these reasons are related to your past experience" Also evident. "how they might fit in with your future goals." Somewhat evident. Elaborate. "Comment on what you expect to contribute to Armenia through your service and what you expect to receive." Somewhat evident. Elaborate. Please provide an example of a significant experience—drawing from school, work, home or abroad—that illustrates your ability to adapt cross-culturally and to overcome difficulties." Clearly evident; you're Black Armenian. But I am certain you have more particular examples you could list. Despite having serious "deficiencies of Armenianness," whatever "Armenianness" may be, you are concerned for the welfare of our folk, and that's what matters. Don't get caught up with what it means to be "Armenian." And plus, you made controversial statements regarding our identity; that's as Armenian as one can get, haha.
