<p>hey everybody! “just for starters” its easier to type in all lowercase especially when im tying to get my thoughts across, also i really dont care too much of what “random ppl on the internet” think of me personally. my intellegence can be based on my academics and interests that i listed in my first post…
anyways! so all of your input has really helped me , especially Joshbyron! i never really thought too much about the PLME in terms of being in 1 place 8 years! i mean, besides getting bored of one place for too long, i have to think about my family and the fact that being so far away from them for 8 years is a bit much. I am also going to be studying up for the PSAT later this month so i can have a better chance at becomming a national semifinalist. i am a u.s citezen which seems to help me out in the long run! also, the club for next year isnt going as i planned. i go to a very strict catholic school and my counselors honestly dont pay attention to the outlines ive given them and so forth, so i guess ill try and find another way to pursue my interests! back to the SAT II’s, im surprised schools dont put more emphasis on them! not one counselor or teacher at my school has even mentioned them! now they have got me a bit nervous, but ill take them before my AP tests like you guys recommended. also you may be pleased to here that during this week and all of next week im partcipating in an internship at Domino’s Pizza! i think by me doing a business internship it shows that i have real diversity and want to explore everything, im also having a lot of fun doing it! next summer hopefully i can grab a research program in the medical field.
ive been researching since last summer about all of this stuff but its always a matter of my parents not wanting to send me away so far yet haha! which do you think i should seriously consider, godwilling i get in- ive looked at vanderbilt, cornell, harvard, u of m, unniversity of chicago, and northwestern just to name a few! but i guess it would be most beneficial for me ( in the sense that it can show me around campus) to do something at brown!
have any of you ever participated in the summer school programs at any of these or anywhere else? if so, how were they? ive heard from so many people that its really a summer to remember, but would it be more beneficial to do a summer school program, or do a research internship? perhaps i can do a research intrnship and maybe take a summer CTY online class? or even a class at a local community college?
and as for my extracirriculars, i know they are rather dull haha but my school offers such limited clubs and im not one to join just so it looks good on an application, i have to be truly interested. and because they arent being responsive or helpful at all to me while im trying to help the school branch out and start my own club, then ive truly hit a wall! any suggestions!
ive given an application in to Women For Change, its an organization that i learned about through a girl at school and it caught my eye because its all about women empowering themselves, learning how to make descisions, while helping those more unfortunate right in our back yard. but of course no one ever gets back to me.
i know that was a whole bunch of questions but get back to me as soon as you can, you guys help me out so much!!</p>
