Did anyone apply to the Princeton Journalism Summer Program this year? I hope we get our results back soon!
Yeah I applied.
I applied as well.
@apples1439 hey I saw you on the HSF program! I hope you get into this program!
thanks @ISawKanyeLive
Did anyone get their 2nd round request today?
I didn’t get in ;( However @wdymcollege I was wondering if you could share your stats and what you talked about in your essays and possibly why you got accepted into the next round.
I did @wdymcollege
@ISawKanyeLive here’s what I wrote about:
First Essay - Tell us about a news, feature or opinion article you’ve read recently that impacted you deeply, and why it had an effect on you.
- I talked about the research I have done on the one and only Rachel Carson for my National History Day project and its impact on me. I alluded to all the criticism she received from the media and how she still persevered and continued to fight for the environment.
Second Essay - Tell us about your interest in pursuing a career in journalism.
- I talked about my introduction to books. So basically I had an accident as a child which left my left hand with 4th-degree burns. As a result, I was not allowed recess time in elementary school because the UV rays were harmful to my recovery so I’d go to the library where I developed a fervor for words and their ability to move people. I also talked about my goal of linking my science background for the environment and also with creative writing to give climate change a voice
Third Essay - Take an issue, a trend, a phenomenon, a group or an important person in your local community, and write an article about it, her or him. This is a chance for you to show off your skills as a journalist. Your article may take the form of a news piece, a feature piece or an opinion piece. Please indicate which type of article it is in the box beneath your article.
- I wrote an article about the #ban the straw movement.
Sorry for the late response!
I basically wrote my first essay on voting for people of my race and how they are under participating. My second essay just refers to my experience on the school newspaper and what it meant to me. My third essay was about a teacher who was chosen as the teacher of the year for his new program helping out underprivileged students.
Also, did anyone get Round 3 notification yet? I haven’t
@wdymcollege I haven’t either
