<p>Please note there is a 3800 character limit on the essay.</p>

<p>=============================
UFE</p>

<p>The Selection Process</p>

<p>We expect over 1,000 students admitted to The University of Alabama this year to be eligible to apply for the University Fellows Experience. The competition will be very stiff. Because all those invited will have impressive grades and test scores, the UFE selection committee will consider the candidate’s record of impact in their community, leadership achievements, extracurricular activities, and the candidate’s essays much more heavily than those grades and test scores. We seek students who ultimately will make a difference throughout their lives; therefore, creativity, productivity, service, leadership, and personal growth are points to highlight on your resume and in your essays.</p>

<p>The Application Process</p>

<p>There are three required elements to the application for the University Fellows Experience:
Two Essays --3800 characters each
Resume
Letter of Recommendation (Limit of one). The letter of recommendation must be on official letterhead, must be submitted online by your recommender, and must be received by Saturday, December 20, 2014. See the Letter of Recommendation section below.</p>

<p>To be considered, applications must be submitted online by the deadline of midnight Monday, December 8, 2014.
Applicants must ensure their names and contact information are not included in the resume or essay portions of this application.</p>

<p>All applicants will be notified of their status by Sunday, February 1, 2015. Approximately 120 semifinalists will receive phone interviews, after which approximately sixty finalists will be invited to the UFE Finalist Interview Weekend February 20-21, 2015.</p>

<p>Essay #1
Write an essay about yourself, your college and career goals, and the way in which you expect the University Fellows Experience to enrich your academic experience at The University of Alabama</p>

<p>Essay #2
If you were offered the chance to have dinner and conversation with anyone in the world, living or dead, who would it be? What would you want to discuss?</p>

<p>Wow thanks! Just to be clear, he would be applying for CBHP or UFE, not both? UFE looks like a lot more work, and to be honest he’s not very strong on community service, etc. In fact, his philosophy and world view right now is pretty much “I want to major in computer science so I can get a good job,” though he’s trying to come across as more complex in his essays. </p>

<p>For CBHP, what kind of research could he talk about? Developing new software applications is what he’s interested in, should he say he would love to work with a professor in that field on new software projects?</p>

23

<p>He can apply to one or both…whatever he wants. </p>

<p>He doesnt’ have to list any current/past research experiences, most HS kids don’t have those. Instead he would mention his qualities that would contribute to his success as a researcher…detailed at recording data/labs, good communication skills, good presentation skills, that sort of thing. </p>

25

<p>Ahhh, excellent! Ok thanks! I think he will just apply to CBHP because with all the essays he’s been doing, the UFE would just be too much right now. </p>

<p>Ds came home earlier today and he was telling me about a former CBHer who came to talk to the CBH students. He was describing how after she finished at UA she went to CalTech for grad and became part of a start up,Myricom, that linked computers for super-computing and is now working for Google. I thought your ds might be interested in her story. <a href=“Events Calendar - The University of Alabama”>Events Calendar - The University of Alabama;
