nope
@CIRCUITDEBATER More than likely it will be 17 June to 7 August, and if you’re in Hawai’i, 16 June will be your start date
@cryinginspanish , when were you notified that you made it past the first stage for LEDA?
@CIRCUITDEBATER
From last years thread, I saw that they were notified on 2/13/16.
3 Days!
I wish something would happen because I’m so nervous!! On Twitter they said they would start notifying late February and all throughout March…
Was something said on the forum by @Hamlon and @aspiringgirl ? Because I got a notification that they posted but when I click on the notification it says “reply not found”
@CIRCUITDEBATER I got that same notification
Yes, our comments were deleted by CC. They weren’t really important, but some fraud commented on this post about NSHSS. Basically, Hamlon and I called the person out on it.
I also made a post telling you guys that Reddit is better than CC. The people and Moderators are friendlier. Everyone is more helpful, and they even have college admissions officers on there. The website is reddit .com/r/ApplyingToCollege
I just wrote this really quickly. Don;t judge the corniness of my poem. Enjoy!
America the Great?
Can’t leave my house 'cause fear of rape.
You see I’m black, you raise my rates.
My afro huge, you say it’s fake.
Born with a “blank slate,”
But I’m judged on skin & traits.
Been taught to appreciate,
Ever since I turned eight.
But all I’m feeling is hate,
since the Emmett Till debate.
Carolyn lied to the state,
But where is her court date?
We say diversity is great,
But we won’t let them immigrate.
Been carrying all this weight,
So let me hit that double take.
This is part two.
And the change begins with YOU.
You can clap your hands, kneel down, and hold up signs too.
In order to get through,
Stick to your values.
Might have to protest, march, boycott and even argue.
Now this is the end.
I’m telling you that we will win.
Let’s stick together and be friends.
That was fire
@aspiringgirl That’s really good- I’m picturing the potential it has to be performed. My school has started this poetry thing and we get signed up for these poetry events around the town.
We had this poet come by to show us how to do it. He said most poems are written with the intent of it being performed. The thing is- I’m more writer than performer. I have words- but not much stage presence. So I’m working on that- writing to perform rather than writing to be read.

Here is a link to the reddit thread. Just delete the space between reddit and .com
A little over 24 hours left! I’m so nervous!
There isn’t a 100% guarantee that we will find out on Monday, but we can hope! Last year, the 13th was on a Friday, so maybe it will be this Friday?
@aspiringgirl oh shoot you’re right and monday is also a holiday
Actually I just double checked. The 13th of February was a Saturday last year.
Oh lol
Guys- whoever gets their response letter first should tell us all, like within hours. If I’m first, the moment they email, I’ll legit run over here so we can have a little drumroll as I open it.
Good luck guys! Hopefully they’ve already started sending responses.
