Certamen
I have around 150 volunteer hours, have run 2 food drives, one mental health drive, one clothing drive, assisted in awareness campaigns, ran a school wide ‘Equality and Acceptance’ day, helped set up a blood drive, and won a scholarship to Indiana University Summer debate camp.
I have dozens of awards for my dancing, all my clubs have a wide variety high standing awards (1st, 2nd, third nationally,I can go into specifics if it helps), Gold on Etymology exam, National Latin Exam, High Scorer on the AMC 9/10 national Math Contest, and am a National Dance Showcase Star Champion (high dance award).
I can speak Russian, and read and write Spanish. I am a complicated first generation college student (we don’t know if my dad went to college), from a very low income family and my mother is from Russia. I play percussion
I am concerned for the need-aware schools- because of my very low income and complications (my mom makes around 18000 a year and for my dad, due to lack of contact we had to file the Noncustodial Parent waiver). How much will my low income effect my admission to Bryn Mawr, who is need aware?
Thank you so much for the help!
