Congressional Page Program

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys.. I recently got accepted to be a US House Page (for those of you who actually know what it is, as it seems it is not widely known)... (if you dont know, pageprogram.house.gov gives all the info)</p>

<p>Anyway, I've heard from my counselor that this is a reallllly good addition to an application... And i'm hoping she's right.. </p>

<p>So basically what i'm asking is:</p>

<p>If I have good, but not the best, stats for an Ivy, would this seal the deal? I know that's kinda a long shot but there's only 70 of us so I can see where it could make a difference..</p>

<p>I have a 2120 SAT and my rank is top 10%.... Also, I have a legacy at Cornell (Dad went to CAS)... I wasnt planning on making this a chance thread, because honestly I dislike them, but I guess this is what it became !!! oh well.. anyway, would this help for applying to my top 2 choices, Cornell and Yale...?!?! Thankssss!!</p>

<p>Hey! Yeah, I’m the one you just commented about on Yale/Chicago/Penn admission chance. And yeah, I just got the official nomination too! I’m majorly pumped. And yes, I think that this IS STELLAR on our application sheets. (I’ll probs apply poly sci major too like you said on my thread). Anyway, I was wondering what you know about the actual House Page School itself, because I heard that they don’t offer AP courses, and all of the courses they offer I’ve already taken. (they offer math only up to precal! $#%#$!) do you think that this would hurt my/your application if I took all independent studies corresponding with my teachers?</p>
