<p>CIAO</p>
<p>I finished the application already, will submit later though. Dont want to look like i “rushed”, ive been working on the essays since fall of 2010 (but they wouldnt know that). I will most likely submit early october.And yep only for URMs and asians.</p>
<p>oh asians count for this? that’s rare. i qualify anyhow, yay for being hispanic :D</p>
<p>Do you have to meet certain financial requirements to apply?</p>
<p>^
You must be Pell Grant eligible for GMSP.</p>
<p>The essays look unbelievably daunting.</p>
<p>I know the essay section is extremely important to letting them know who you are, what is the best possible way to translate that in a essay. I’m freaking out</p>
