Whoever your service helped. For instance, “The Iowa Food Bank”, idk
Is it weird that I haven’t received an email? Not even a rejection?
For past scholars and current applicants. What is the tone of the essays supposed to be? Serious or…
Is this something that can/should be put on college apps to HYPSM schools?
Who’s still writing the essays #procrastination
@stem1202, DD put semi award on her college application. And yes, she is one of the procrastinators who is still working on her finalist application.
Hi everyone! I was filling out my application and I noticed that there is a 75 word maximum. I already wrote a lot for my statements, is there any advice for reducing it? Also, was there a word limit in the years before? Thanks!
Is the application due today by 11:59 EST or Central time?
I would use EST just to be on the safe side.
Plus Atlanta is in EST…
Is anyone else having trouble logging in? When I try to log in, the site says “Invalid username or password” but I know the information I’m typing in is correct
I had the same issue, you have to email them and they reset it for you. I think it is too late now, since their office hours are 9 to 5. 
Good luck to everyone! I just submitted my app a couple of mins ago
Does anyone know what happens if we exceed the 75 word limit? I haven’t been keeping track and it’s hard to see in the boxes. Will it cut off extra words or let you know you exceeded it before you submit?
I have been using the word counter website for now
Did you guys receive a submission confirmation email or anything? I’m mildly paranoid.
not me @Artemis1561
D did not receive any confirmation when she submitted her application. She was able to look at her semifinalist portal and see that her questions are shown ‘submitted’. You can also see the status of your recommendation letter, transcript, etc…on the same portal.
The portal shows “submitted” on all parts. Anyone receive an email confirmation?
@maverick22 I do not think confirmation emails were sent out. Mine is listed as completed and I finished it several days before the deadline and did not receive an email.
