<p>so my grandmother's brother just died.. is it possible to get Special challenges Points for this.. we were really close... if yes, where would i put this in my application..??</p>
<p>your two prompts</p>
<p>I talked about my aunt that recently passed away and the influence she had in my life in one of my prompts. I guess the readers liked it because I got into the schools that I never thought I’d be able to get into. <em>hint hint</em></p>
<p>Well its a point system, so there is only so much your personal statement can get you. You must have had other good stuff too (:</p>
<p>Yeah I guess haha. But to spatel23, I remember your resum</p>
<p>its really sad that the college admissions process turn the student’s whole life into digits and numbers that can be calculated… o well, i guess thats the only possible way thats fast enough ._.</p>
<p>so my two prompt answers are:</p>
<ol>
<li>going to india and helping the poor people out with my knowledge of pharmacology</li>
</ol>
<p>my second prompt:
2. i am going to be talking about public speaking.</p>
<p>i asked on another forum, and they said no, cuz it wasnt in my immediate family, so??</p>
<p>unless it’s immediate family it usually doesn’t work anymore. If a grandparent dies, it’s not that much of an impact on prompts as a sibling or parent.</p>
<p>They’ll think you’re just looking for pity points. But you can state that you guys were close and it explains a sudden drop in your grade (if there was one) as a good excuse.</p>
<p>it IS 9/11, anyone die there?</p>
<p>nah… …</p>
