<p>Miscellaneous/Notes</p>

<p>• play the drums in band (not a school band and also not normal for African WOMEN to do that)

<p>I am in the mist of writing a manuscript for my book called " Help or not". It is about my research, what would people doing in different situations.</p>

<p>Essay
I will write about a Table. How the table is important to me: In Africa my family and I were in a war and so we hide underneath the table from the bombs. Now, since I am in the USA for many years, don’t know exact number... but anyways, now my parents uses it to talk about bills and how will survive for next day. </p>

<p>So the essay will be a contrast of the use of a table in two different countries and two different situations.</p>

<p>just curious: are you a US Citizen? (you talked about living in Africa so I asked). If not, then would you apply as an international student? Because then all the odds change I think.</p>

<p>Either way I would reccomend taking the SATs again to try to improve your score, everything else looks really good except for that. Since Pitt is rolling it shouldn’t be a problem if you apply a bit late (although I reccomend signing up for June or September SATs so you can apply a bit earlier and have a better chance for scholarship money).</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>will it be to long if i give my sat in june and give my application now?</p>

<p>are you a senior?? I assumed you were a junior…don’t know why. Obviously that changes things. I think you’re going to have to give your whole application now, and hope they still have room. Since traditionally most colleges have to fill up by May 1, you’re a little behind, but it’s always worth a shot. Or have you already turned in your application? Sorry I’m so confused :)</p>
