<p>We're OOS also--New England.</p>
<p>So, I LOVED the program. Professor Taber said they asked about 90 and they accept about half.</p>
<p>My major gripe is just the location, that's what most of the people said when asked i they would change anything. That and the amount of MD kids, but I've applied to other schools where the in-state population will be a lot, so that's not that big of a problem.</p>
<p>I absolutely loved it though, it def. moved up on my list.</p>
<p>me too! i want a small school so it was already up there with w&m and some others, but i think i'm pretty decided on smcm class of 2013 now.</p>
<p>I think my interview went over well, but i guess i'll see. Do you know when we find out?</p>
<p>He said that because acceptance letters go out by that usual April 1st deadline, they end up knowing about 1 and 1/2 weeks before, so he said probably mid March.</p>
<p>i don't think they accept half, only 16 people get it. i loved it too, is tayed overnight and it was great. good luck guys!</p>
<p>you stayed overnight? was it for the nitze scholar program? I went on sunday and i don't remember them saying anything about it. I really like St Mary's so i would love to stay overnight to find out more about the school? How did you sign up for this?</p>
<p>Dessin- He said they accept about half which means between 35-45. They don't expect every single person to accept. But yea, I was a bit surprised as well.</p>
<p>And pancake yea, it was for the Nitze program, I think you can contact the school and they'll set you up with someone to spend the night.</p>
<p>Hey guys
I was selected to apply for the Nitze Scholars program
I am writing my Leadership essay
BUT
I lost my packet! I have one of those moms who likes to throw away everything...
Can anyone please tell me the details of where to send the leadership essay, and any other requirements? I think I recall a resume and essay, unless I am confusing it with another scholarship.</p>
<p>just emailed my essay and co-curriculars to Taber!!</p>
<p>and mikimiki.... i hope this isn't too late! Sorry i didn't see this sooner.</p>
<p>The Essay:</p>
<p>In 800-1000 words, identify and describe a characteristic of leadership that you find to be esp. troubling, controversial, or otherwise worthy of further study, and discuss why this characteristic strikes you that way. (Nitze program focuses on leadership... broad... more than politics and CEOs... consistent with breadth , the NS committee does not have set expectations about how to approach this topic)</p>
<p>Also, don't forget a cover page with name, telephone, and email.</p>
<p>and, co-curricular resume with less than 300 word statement. </p>
<p>GOOD LUCK!!! it's due tomorrow (or today... i guess its already the 18th)</p>
<p>and email to <a href="mailto:mstaber@smcm.edu">mstaber@smcm.edu</a></p>
<p>AND the co-curricular statement is about "what you get or got" out of your activities</p>
<p>wait! today is the 17th right? so it's due tomorrow not today???? I'm not finished!</p>
<p>haha yeah sorry, i got my days confused. today is definitely the 17th...</p>
<p>Thank you so much, Carasimp!
I appreciate your good-doing-ness, (yes, I will use this word in my essay)
and wish you good luck in everything,
especially this program,
and maybe I'll even see you next year.
Ha! :)</p>
<p>don't worry about. and i'd say "good-doing-ness" would deffffinitely get you in :)</p>
<p>and yeah, I'm quite decided on smcm, nitze or no nitze, (although the more money the better) if you choose it too, i'll absolutely be seeing you. </p>
<p>also, have any other nitzes that haven't heard about the merit scholar? because i haven't and don't see why i wouldn't qualify... but it seems like a lot of the merits have been told already.</p>
<p>i'd email admissions/finaid to ask.</p>
<p>just curious, what was your characteristic of leadership?</p>
<p>i picked charisma...</p>
<p>Hey! I got called tonight by St. Mary's and I won the Nitze - good luck you guys!!!</p>
<p>Me too! Dessin, you think you're going?</p>
<p>yeah pretty sure - there's virtually no way I can/will be able to afford the other colleges I applied to. haha im adding you as a friend - we can reveal our true identities to each other - facebook friends?? haha oh let the social networking begin! congrats!</p>
