<p>carnegie mellon is my number one choice (by a long shot), but the other program I am applying to is the ASU Math/Science Honors program</p>
<p>i only applied to CM summer program. So if i don't get accepted, I'll take a course or two at Drexel U., work, and play tennis all summer.....and then comes senior year..Yikes!!!</p>
<p>senior year is actually a lot of fun. im not gonna lie to you and i dont care what other people say: i really enjoyed doing my applications. sure, it takes a while to get over the writers' block, but when you get your ideas out on paper and come back to read it a month later, the feeling is ecstatic.</p>
<p>sooo... now that i got my app sent out, would any1 like to chance me for ap/ea diversity:</p>
<p>White male, middle class (I heavily stressed how I am diverse/what i can bring to the program in my first essay, so I am hoping they will overlook my race/gender/income... i also mentioned that i have a jewish father, christian mother, and african american half-sister)
Grades: 4.0uw, 4.25w
PSAT: 220 (68cr, 80m, 72w)
SAT 2200 (730 cr, 800m, 670W)
5's on AP chem and comp. pol. last year. Taking 3 more AP's this year
Rec's: Counselor said it was stellar, teacher recs should be good
EC's: Very active in sports, varsity track and soccer (runner up state champs), and i previously was on JV XC and JV/varsity baseball
Also i am active in boyscouts and am applying for my eagle scout</p>
<p>Now i get to spend 2 months waiting it out... what do you guys think? Am i in, or should i start putting together a resume for a summer job?</p>
<p>hello,
i'm applying, but my post office was closed today because of snow and so i didn't get to postmark it on 3/1/08...
=( is that still okay? since it says that apps will be accepted after 3/1 if there's room..</p>
<p>plus, can u guys chance me?
asian female (?:|)
gpa: as of now, 4.6 (cuz of horrid semester grades), 3.9 uw; top 10
PSAT:240
SATII: 800, 800
AP test: 5</p>
<p>resume: president of 1 club, captain of 1 team, state top 5 science awards in bio, chem, 1st place in regional math competitions (nothing really special)
recs: personal, i guess, but not great. counselar rec=taken advantage of hard classes, top grades, short but nothing special either.</p>
<p>yeah.</p>
<p>@peach chardonnay:
being asian doesnt hurt your chances at all. out of the 7 (i can think of) from diversity ap/ea last summer (including me), we have: 2 asian male, 3 asian females, 1 black female, and 1 white female.
i was confused when i found so many asians.
really good chances. you just have to wait till late may cuz i think thats when i got my letter last year.</p>
<p>even if my app's gonna be 2 days late?</p>
<p>make your own thread...</p>
<p>you might get a better response.</p>
<p>b to the ump...</p>
<p>It's a good idea NOT to chase away other related questions about the same program, especially if you want bumps. </p>
<p>So how many applicants to this program have posted in this thread now? How big is the overall program?</p>
<p>from what i've read on other posts, there are 100 slots open for the Diversity Program. My rough estimate is ~15 CC'ers are applying this year. Let's make a list and find out:</p>
<ol>
<li>bco09 - AP/EA - Advanced Programming/Intro to Engineering</li>
<li>...</li>
</ol>
<p>actually, there are 100 slots for SAMS, not the whole Diversity Program. I second the list...</p>
