Read a random definition: Section 102 rejection

A quick definition of prosecutor:

A prosecutor is a lawyer who brings criminal charges against people who have broken the law. They go to court and explain why the person should be punished for what they did. In some places, they are called district attorneys. The top prosecutor for the whole country is called the U.S. Attorney.

A more thorough explanation:

A prosecutor is a type of lawyer who is responsible for bringing criminal charges against individuals who have committed crimes. They present evidence and arguments in court to try to convince a judge or jury that the accused person is guilty.

For example, in California, the district attorney is the public prosecutor who attends court and initiates and conducts all prosecutions for public offenses. At the federal level, the U.S. Attorney serves as the prosecutor for federal crimes.

Prosecutors play an important role in the criminal justice system by representing the interests of the government and seeking justice for victims of crimes. They work closely with law enforcement agencies to investigate crimes and build cases against suspects.

I am not an expert but I would imagine with your stats a lot of schools will think you have options so I would recommend writing about why that location is a top choice for you not just the school being a top choice. Try to show/convince them you will attend.
