I am also applying to SAMS and TASP. I am writing my essays, but I am unsure if I should include a formal or informal tone? I am going to go over my essays with my English teacher on Wednesday. I am excited for the process, it seems robust and wholesome.
Does anybody know of any websites like scholarship junkies that give essay feedback? Or anyone that has been a part of LEDA wants to help me with my essays and give me some feedback?
My essays are more formal than informal. I’m constantly revising them
@exilion One of my friends was extremely wealthy yet still made it in. Don’t let that discourage you
I haven’t taken any standardized tests yet besides the PSAT. what about you guys?
@Morocco965 I’m taking the January SAT, but that’s probably too late to be of any use. I’ll only have PSAT scores available.
I took the ACT last year and got a decent score. @Morocco965
I have done SAT, ACT, PSAT, and Subject Tests.
@univbound101 @aspiringgirl What are your scores?
SAT- 1430
ACT- 32
PSAT- 1290
SAT Subject Tests
Math 2- 740
World History- 660 (
but I got a 5 on the AP)
Do you know which scores we would even report?
I’m not sure what exactly you would send but I would assume either SAT or ACT.
@univbound101 if you don’t mind me asking, what’s your ethnicity/identity and what state are you a resident of?
@CIRCUITDEBATER
ACT (Sophomore year w/o studying): 25
PSAT (" "): 1150
I’m not retaking it yet because everyone does test prep at LEDA.
If I don’t get in, I’ll just study extra hard during the summer.
@CIRCUITDEBATER
I am African American from Texas
What type of debate do you do?
@univbound101
LD & Policy Debate
@everyone
I sent Iris an email 5 days ago and I haven’t received a response. I also sent the LEDA telecommunications number a text with the things that I asked about and I didn’t get a response. Have any of you tried contacting LEDA in the past few days?

No. I don’t know why they haven’t replied. Maybe you can call them after school.
@CIRCUITDEBATER
yeah i only have PSAT scores as of now, but they aren’t too bad and its a holistic admissions process so other things cover it up in a sense
how is everyone doing with their essays? the prompts were good and they could go in so many different directions.
