<p>I'm so excited! I got my application in the mail yesterday and am overjoyed that I was asked to attend. But I have some quick questions that maybe some past people can answer.</p>
<p>Does the package include your parents too or do they have to pay their own way?</p>
<p>And for spaces that don't apply to me, do I just put N/A or do I leave it blank?</p>
<p>This weekend is only for you, not for your parents. If your parents want to stay the entire time, however, then they can stay at a hotel that's nearby, but I don't think many people do that. You're going to have a great time! I might actually see you around on campus...that's kinda weird, since I was just in the program last year..</p>
<p>Thanks. My mother's very over-protective so maybe I can convince her to let me "fly from the nest". Williams is my dream school and she knows that I need to go through this program.</p>
<p>I just realized, how did they get my information? Since they wouldn't know my financial status from an interest form. I guess it has something to do with Questbridge.</p>
<p>I started a questbridge app but I didn't submit it...whoops! I also got the letter, but I've been on their mailing list for a while? Maybe it's just PSAT scores?</p>
<p>how many kids apply/get to go?</p>
<p>Hey, I got the invite in the mail today and I'm stoked and def going to apply. But... I'm white. I know it's multicultural, which includes all races, but was this some kind of mistake? To be safe I'm not going to mark my ethnicity.</p>
<p>De2: I believe it has something to do with PSAT scores. I got the invite too and I was not on their mailing list until this weekend.</p>
<p>Really? I didn't think mine were really high. I don't know exactly how many kids get to go but when they say multicultural I know it's not only race but diversity in area as well.</p>
<p>You are a URM right? What were your scores? There is a different cut-off for "good" scores for URMs.</p>
<p>I'm sorry but what does URM mean exactly?</p>
<p>under represented minority</p>
<p>I'm black so I guess that would count. My scores were around a 139 cumulative. I'm not sure though since I don't have my scores on hand.</p>
<p>1390...on all three sections (critical reading, math, and writing)?</p>
<p>they talk about finances being the determining factor. so if you have a URM from a family who makes $200K and a poor white/asian kid from a family that makes $20K, who do you pick?</p>
<p>go figure. Williams look really cool though. Makes me wish I was the last surviving member of some ancient tribe. Then, THEN, they would take me no matter my GPA.</p>
<p>Reaching: I feel your pain. I never knew it was as complicated as this. I guess I should be thankful that I'm a URM AND poor. Plus I'm not exactly a 2.8</p>
<p>priceless28: Heh, I didn't have my scores with me. 1550 on my PSAT. I was very very disappointed. So when I take the SAT in June, I hope I do much better.</p>
<p>what do you mean, 2.8? good luck with the SATs. I'm taking IIs in June and I'm starting to realize, I don't actually know any physics! screwed screwed screwed.</p>
<p>Woops. I meant GPA wise. Ouch, I know how you feel about the Physics. I have no clue what I'm doing in Physics class right now because our teacher treats us like we're in college. And I'm one of the ones getting an A. I'm taking U.S. His. and Lit. SAT IIs in October.</p>
<p>yeah, I got my diversity invitation and application.I got:</p>
<p>194 PSAT
3.3UW 3.4W GPA</p>
<p>I'm black too
so..hope I see you there De2</p>
