<p>Hi everyone. I am a current Alumni Scholar helping coordinate the Overnight Stay Program. We opened up the program to 400 kids this year (FOUR times last year's size of a mere 100). All applicants will be invited; last year only semifinalists were because of the smaller number of available slots. Still, expect these 400 to go really quickly. I advise you to literally keep refreshing the page (you sign up online) for a full five minutes before they say sign ups begin, if you really want to attend the program. It should be fun! good luck</p>
<p>was the e-mail for both the leadership and achievement award? cause i applied for the achievement one...<em>not going to panic :(</em></p>
<p>"Hello Alumni Scholarship Leadership Award Applicant"
it's not for the achievement one!
yay..now you don't have to worry :)</p>
<p>thanks lastcall...i really hope so...lOL</p>
<p>do you only get this email if you applied for the alumni scholarship?</p>
<p>hm. so now that it's clear all leadership applicants(at least in this thread) got the e-mail i'm sure it didn't mean anything. but we'll see come thursday</p>
<p>I'm actually an alumni scholar at Berekely currently(I'm a first year) and the guys who run the Alumni Scholar association are big jokers, especially in their emails. This is quite typical of them(though, I think, very funny as well.)</p>
<p>what do you mean by big jokers?</p>
<p>As in, they always have funny emails, and enjoy brightening up your day with a little cute humor.</p>
<p>brightening up our day??
i think its more like
they enjoy watching us run around in circles like chickens with our heads cut off
well, i hope they're having fun at our expense :)</p>
<p>Maybe my essay shoulda had a cool joke or something</p>
<p>Boy do I ever hope that you're right!</p>
<p>how much is this program?</p>
