@doorealthe that’s really helpful! And also intimidating.
Makes me wonder if I should bother hoping!
@hamiltondebater no problem!
@Controlla if you’re interested in writing (meaning that you’ve done creative writing on your own, won some awards for it, maybe even published one of your works) and you like Penn, reach out to the KWH. It won’t hurt
Anyone here received awards from Scholastic Arts and Writing and the like?
@Yarnweaver I haven’t but I’m an international. I however have a writing award.
Do you have a Scholastic Award?
@Controlla Congrats on your award! I only have regional awards from Scholastic. I’m a bit worried about how many people who are national level winners/YoungArts finalists/etc there are 
I know of one here tho. The person hasn’t really been active on CC.
And thanks, you too!
Since you were asking, I’m applying RD and I received a national gold medal in Scholastic. @Controlla
@writergirl0316 congrats on the gold medal! Do you plan on applying EA anywhere?
Yale! 
@Yarnweaver
@writergirl0316 good luck!! I’m going to apply to Yale in the RD round (just for fun—there’s no way I’d get in haha)
did anyone else get an email from Jamie-Lee about the ModPo online course? Going a couple threads back, apparently receiving an invitation like this shows that KWH is interested in recruitment.

Really? @hamiltondebater I received one! I don’t think it’s anything serious because I haven’t even submitted my writing. I think it’s a great opportunity to learn about American poetry though! Didn’t see anything about ModPo on last year’s thread 
Did you reply the email telling you to join?
I know I read somewhere on CC, maybe not that thread that I linked, but some one talked about receiving an email for online course that they didn’t name (guess it was ModPo) as a step in the recruitment process. I replied and joined. I also asked Jamie-Lee if she had had the time to read my portfolio yet.
@hamiltondebater I did! I checked it out and it’s a Coursera course, so I’d imagine it’s open to everybody.
@doorrealthe What do you think? Is ModPo a good sign?
@hamiltondebater I received the ModPo invite and was in contact with JLJ when I scheduled a trip to KWH and for the book group last summer. I also received an email a few months ago informing me about the KWH summer program, which was directed to “Friends of the KWH,” and the ModPo invite was on this same thread.
I’m also interested in KWH recruitment! I also participated in the book group this summer; I’m applying Penn RD though.
@Controlla I don’t think ModPo is used as a recruitment tool. If you want to take it, take it. Otherwise I would concentrate on school and essays.
