<p>Actuallly I think its more based on first generation because I'm really really need based. I'm also not a minority. Wow Im really disappointed I won't be able to go to the conference.</p>
<p>Kai, I think they had different levels.. i.e exceptional, and high acheiving.. And if you were "exceptionl" you got a certain letter, and "high achieving" a certain letter.</p>
<p>Ugh. I guess I lost. lol. I hate losing. :o</p>
<p>Oh.. woooow, that's a cool essay, I can't even swim < haha.. I was really generic, i wrote about a picture of my family..</p>
<p>college match?
omgosh, again
have to wait for the anticipation</p>
<p>Wayan, what are you talking about?</p>
<p>oh.
hahha.
i used a picture of food.
hahahaa</p>
<p>I know where Ontario Mills Mall is although i havent been in like 8 years. When I use to live in Lake Arrowhead it was a big deal to drive down the hill and go to this mall. I saw Titanic there and ate at Wolfgangs. I really miss CA!!! I miss the people - so much better than GA. I started this summer program search in October when I was nominated for the Gov Honors thing and I'm just burnt out. I so wanted to get out of GA this summer.</p>
<p>oh, sorry! I meant to respond to murkywater's essay topic thing, sorry sorry! :/</p>
<p>anyways now what?
when can we ask questbridge
and all that jazz?
hahahha</p>
<p>lol, that's cool too! wow, everybody is so not generic.. how do you come up with something like that to write.. I mean, I was super brain-farting, and I just ended up writing about my family. And what's stupid is the counselors at our school always tells us to NOT write about how you've immigrated from wherever or whatever, but I just basically wrote about that.</p>
<p>^the food picture essay thing, sorry again!</p>
<p>haha I cheated and re vamped a TASP essay although not too much. It was about how my father's death changed me or something like that.</p>
<p>aww, that's sad :(, what's TASP?</p>
<p>I talked about my migration to the US, and basically the death of my father and its impacts. :(</p>
<p>ohhh.. I see.. aww :( :(, where did you migrate from Rosh420?</p>
<p>I was going to apply for Harvards SSP and probably would have qualified for a ton of FA but it doesnt cover room and board and other expenses that would have probably added up to over 4K.</p>
<p>to Kai's question earlier, I think there are different letters:</p>
<ol>
<li>Exceptional</li>
<li>High-achieving</li>
<li>Rejection letter</li>
<li>Did not qualify financially</li>
</ol>
<p>And then at the end:</p>
<ol>
<li>Offer additional scholarships</li>
<li>Continue relationship as you pursue education</li>
</ol>
<p>The different awards:</p>
<ol>
<li>Summer College Program</li>
<li>College Admissions Counseling</li>
<li>College Conference Invite</li>
</ol>
<p>Yup! And thank you, I really do appreciate the compliments.. I did spend a lot of time on my application.</p>
<p>haha what's TASP??? go under summer programs its like the longest thread. It's an awesome program that I probably won't get into because I suck at interviewing. Seriously I suck - its what did me in at Govs honors too.</p>
<p>wiayan, I am jamaican. :)</p>
<p>oh woah, jamaica, neato! wow, everybody here seems so.. motivated.. I feel so ignorant compared to you all.. haha</p>
