I just got an invitation from UD about their World Scholars Program. Does anyone know how much it costs? I am also having a little trouble on starting the essay and getting ideas on what to write about. For anyone who has completed the essay before, or is going to this year, what is the best way to get the essay started? Also for anyone who has previously been accepted to the program, was it easy getting integrated into the UD society halfway through freshmen year? How easy is it to make friends when you don’t start at UD until Spring Semester?
I believe this is a new Program that UD will be starting in 2015 so there will not be any current students with experience in the Program. Only 50 select students will start the Program, by invitation only, with only certain majors involved. The Program sounds great with all the students studying the first semester abroad at a select university in Rome. I would assume that upon starting the second semester at UD that the students in the Program would be housed together so at least you will know the students in the Program. I’m sure UD will be providing an orientation upon arrival at UD to help all the students assimilate into the UD community. You need to inquire to UD about any additional costs (if any) to be involved in the new Program. Good luck. The Program sounds great.
