Paying for College Access Programs (Questbridge, Posse)
1

<p>Hey, i want to know my chances of making the quest bridge scholarship( summer program) and the national college match scholarship ( stanford or harvard) with this infrmation:</p>

<p>I am an immigrant from the Democratic republic of congo. I came here on political asylum because my dad who was a member of parliament was targeted ( congolese civil war and its relation to the rwandan genocide). I am a junior with a 3.98 unweighted GPA. I take all IB/AP classes. I am a member of junior civitan club,french club, national french honor society and national honor society.I volunteer at a University ( research assistant), local Red Cross, local library ( i tutor and organize youth activities. I attempted to start a unicef club and model united nations club but failed ( im not very popular at school.... high school and social status etc., i hate it). I am a low income student (food stamps) that simply wants to go to college to eventually give a voice to the "over looked" ( children in war torn portions of africa and low income students in america). i made a 210 on my PSAT ( will take SAT in december). </p>

<p>all advice and help is appreciated</p>

<p>p.s. if you can plese leave sugesstions about what i could use as one of my essays b/c my experiences are so complex that i dont know which one would be interesting to the admission oficers ( and which one doesn't make it seem like a sob story).</p>

<p>You definitely have a very interesting story that’ll be a great foundation for your essays. My recommendation (though it’s ultimately your choice), would be to use your biography essay to show how your father’s circumstances has affected you (emphasis on you) and how it’s shaped how you want to “give a voice to the ‘over looked’”. </p>

<p>Not sure about chances though, since I didn’t do the college prep and especially considering how low the acceptance rate for the college match is.</p>

<p>One more thing: are you a US citizen? Some colleges will only consider you if you are, though there are a few that take international applicants.</p>
