<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>So I want to submit my application for PSP online, but I have a few questions that I would really appreciate, if answered:</p>

<p>1) Are we allowed to select a NON-high school teacher as your most influential educator? ie, a middle school teacher? If so, what do you put on the form for "school"?</p>

<p>2) Where is the online application itself?!! I downloaded the paper one, but I need to find the online one to find out the character/word requirements for the essays. I cannot for the life of me find a link anywhere on the entire site for it!</p>

<p>I thought maybe the application would start after I filled out the forms (candidate control, teacher selection). But I can't finish those forms before I find out about the whole teacher problem.</p>

<p>This is extremely frustrating. I e-mailed PSP last week, and this week again, plus I called them, but no response! With the deadline quickly approaching, I would really appreciate an answer, so any alumni of the program, or anyone else familiar with the system?</p>

<p>Sorry this is so long, if you took the time to read this, thank you very much.</p>

<p>It should go right into the online application, and on the left there will be links for the different segments of the application.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about the teacher question.</p>

<p>Hope this helps : )</p>

<p>thank you so much
I had gotten to that point, but i couldnt find the essays themselves. i called today again and someone told me i needed to finish the forms before i could get to the essay.
and they also told me that i should just ignore the “high school” part of the section and right the teacher’s home address instead.</p>
