<p>Definitely very noble.
Highly respectable. Thanks for sharing!!!</p>
<p>Are you by any chance in Key Club?</p>
<p>thanks, I’m sure everyone else has notable incentives, and no :[
I attended their meeting but I wasn’t as interested compared to other clubs, but, I will most likely consider it again next year since I’ll be attending most of the informational meetings again haha, just in case my opinion changes</p>
<p>Meeting people like you guys, college guidance, the SAT prep, leadership lectures, Princeton University, campus visits, being in the northeast…the list goes on. 
I cannot believe I found such a perfect program and wouldn’t want to spend my summer any other way! </p>
<p>And no, I’m not in Key Club. I’m not sure if my school even has that club! What do you guys do?</p>
<p>Key Club is a club that strives to build leadership by building servant leaders. I highly recommend it.</p>
<p>Um, well most notably, I do…

<p>Same as @Jeikudes, I’ve never been to the mainland and attending Princeton is like a fantasy as @ThumnusTheGreat has said. Aside from that, I applied to this program in order to increase my chances at getting into my first choice college because the assistance the program provide is astonishing. I feel that if I get accepted, I will attain more knowledge about colleges that I will gladly share with my siblings and my unmotivated friends. Kinda corny and dramatic but lol it’s true.</p>
<p>For me, Leda is the chance to step up and discover the steps to success outside of my state. And it is also a chance to meet people (like you guys) who are hardworking and dedicated.
In the end though, I applied because of the chance to learn valuable college prep and life skills.

<p>Yeah, I agree. </p>
<p>Applying to college sounds cliche in almost every aspect.</p>
<p>That’s why we ALL got to combine our OWN personal stories to make us seem more “real.”</p>
<p>This makes me want to get in so much!!!</p>
<p>All these motivations, diversity, and stories will be so interesting to here!!!</p>
<p>Um, well, sorry. I feel uncomfortable telling everyone.
Key club wise, I’m District CNH (Jei- we’re in the same key club district) region 14 division 14</p>
<p>Hahaha, everyone might as well share their short answer questions from the application. You guys really build up the hype and excitement for LEDA!</p>
<p>Haha!!!</p>
<p>First thing we do if we get accepted: we all share our personal statements.</p>
<p>I don’t know about you, but I really dug deep for that one.</p>
<p>I’m curious to see what you guys are in.</p>
<p>It took a lot for me to answer the personal statement. It was certainly something to make you think. </p>
<p>Sent from my PG86100 using CC</p>
<p>My personal statement was exactly 1000 words! haha. Good times.</p>
<p>Wow, you must had lots to say. I think mine was like 688 or something. I kept mine short but sweet.</p>
<p>mine was around 700 for the short answer… but I was paranoid from earlier posts. I thought I went over the limit 
I’m not sure about the personal statement though it was definitely a thought provoker.</p>
<p>haha yea I had a lot to say Short answer was around 500 words though.</p>
<p>Anyone have any more tips for the interview?</p>
<p>I would say write some notes down, like in bullet form to some answers, and not try to write a script and read word for word… hahaha. Just glance at your notes if you have to when you lose your train of thought</p>
<p>If Iris Early emailed any of you back please post her response so we can all know if they are still sending emails promoting us to round 3 or not! :)</p>
<p>@collegequeen: I could do that.</p>
<p>I’ll do what Jei suggests and write down a few key points to refer to when losing train if thought. Someone recommended doing a mock interview, which is smart.</p>
<p>Okay! @ThumnusTheGreat Thank you! I really appreciate it and I’m sure everyone else on this thread will too :)</p>
