Have any of you submitted your applications yet?
no. I need to rewrite essay #1 and fine tune essay #2. Also, my teacher and counselor have to submit their recs.
Does anyone know how the interview process works if you make it to that stage? Do you and interviewer both go somewhere or do they come to your house?
@HelloThereHola It’s video chat (skype) or phone call
When it says that Counselors submit a Transcript and Academic Information, what exactly do they mean by Academic Information?
What exactly are yall putting in the activity description?
@CIRCUITDEBATER Counselors submit a copy of test scores, your transcript, and they describe your course load (in terms of difficulty) and your class rank. For activity descriptions, I talked about how often I do it, where and why I do it, and what I have achieved in it.
Did you guys focus on one specific life event in essay number one, or did you just tell about your life in general?
I’m rewriting the first essay right now. I’m lost.
I wrote about a series of memories that were all connected to one overarching theme.
Hey guys 
I’m new to this thread. I’m applying this year with y’all. goodluck to eveyone! :D/ has anyone already submitted their application? Are y’all like me, and still working on it? :-SS lol & @univbound101 which test scores do counselors submit? state standardized test scores? PSAT? a SAT or ACT test score?
I just submitted my application!! ^:)^
@Ayotaytayy My counselor submitted my AP scores, PSAT score (maybe she only submitted my SAT score), ACT score, and SAT score. She did not submit any state test scores.
Good luck with finishing your applications and I hope we all make it to round two.
Is anyone asking their counselor to wait until PSAT scores are released? I’m not trying to cut it close, but I thought my new scores would look better. I heard counselors get them tomorrow and really hope she can see them soon.
foreaaal!!! PSAT scores come out tom!!! Does that mean we’ll be able to see them on college board? & I’m still waiting to talk to my counselor 8-| I’ve put in a request to see her twice, but she still hasn’t called me into her office, so I just submitted her info. on my application. If she’s received an email or not I still don’t know b/c like I said…She hasn’t acknowledged my request haha sometimes I swear I really hate my school administration lol
I just looked it up, and 2016 PSAT scores don’t come out till December 12th. :(( That would’ve been great if they if they were able to come out sooner because I know my score will have improved from last year. Oh well.

@Ayotaytayy Counselors get access to PSAT scores a week earlier this year. Just show up to her office. It is really important that she at least knows that she needs to submit application info.
Finally bombarded my counselor with enough emails for her to respond back >:) She filled out the application requirements that she needed to do, so thankfully that’s one less item on the list of things I have left to do to finish this application X_X
Hey guys, I’ve just submitted my application yesterday for LEDA. So excited!
That’s great! @Ayotaytayy @winnieiam
I am putting the final touches on my essays.
@HelloThereHola For my 1st essay I wrote a ancedote about an event but connected to my life experiences. Then I wrote about how those experiences have shaped my aspirations for the future. Hope this helps!
