@takashi13 Read it over for yourself a few times and you will find them.
@acurrey416 Thanks for the confidence boost, I really needed it!
hey guys Is this a better college essay than my previous one? what does it need
Throughout my academic career there were three people who had a major influence on me. They never gave up or left me to just fail. They showed very little pity for towards me and put me to my full potential in school. These people are my mother, father, and Grandmother Rachel. My family was consistently on my back when it came to schoolwork. In elementary school, I was a child who was behind in my education compared to my fellow classmates. I was enrolled in special education from kindergarten to fifth grade. Honestly, I felt ashamed and discouraged that this was happening to me to the point I started to convince myself that I was unintelligent. My parents, who immigrated to this country from Sierra Leone, West Africa, were convinced I could be on grade level if I apply my mind to its full potential. My loved ones tried their hardest to help me get out of special education. My mother made up mock exams for me and drilled me. My grandmother, a retired teacher, taught me to read, and checked every single bit of my schoolwork. My father taught me that failure through lack of effort was unacceptable.
As a young and active individual, I possess leadership and strong character that I would love to share at your prestigious institution by taking advantage of the productive resources that would surround me. If admitted to the University of Maryland, I will discipline myself through the university’s undergraduate biological science program in order to prepare me for a productive role in healthcare as a physician assistant. I will also become an enthusiastic asset to such groups as the African Student Association and intramural soccer. The biggest contribution that I would make is to the university’s undergraduate biological sciences program by demonstrating hard work equipped with being a terp. Apart from this, I look forward to being a part of a greatly diverse family and finding a new home that is not too far from home.
@takashi13 Needs work, message me if you need anymore help. Capture the readers attention that’s the number one thing and also go more in depth it seems like you got immediately into the story, give more background and emphasis.
@takashi13 Have you gotten the housing or dining agreement on your application? Or does anyone have any idea when the RD decisions come out? The wait is killing me!
no i haven’t @tsixe121
Hey guys so apparently they’re strongly recommending people to apply by aug 1 for the spring 2016 semester due to “an increased volume of applicants” so this is disheartening but I knew it was coming… So basically space is SUPER tight right now
@caribbeancurse are you sure? It says that the Jun 1st deadline has passed… so maybe they are just recommending it to people who want to apply for the spring?
It can be taken many ways but I feel like its a warning to those who are great applicants but who might not get in because of space limitations
Did anyone hear back anything by the way? Or know when we do hear back?
@caribbeancurse I called today and the guy who answered told me the generic answer of “in a couple weeks starting in mid-july” I am not sure if i believe that though because i know last year people found out june 26th… and a couple of years ago it always seemed to be around july 8th. Lets hope they come out sooner then later!
has anyone gotten the dining and housing link? That usually indicates the answers are coming soon.
Lol like it is mid july ! :(( I wish they would hurry up. Im getting anxious
@caribbeancurse So i called again because I thought maybe I could get more of a straight forward answer and the guy told me that they just finalized most of the decisions so we should hear in the next week or two…
Yess!!! I’m so excited . @tsixe121
Decisions should be out this week for June 1 applicants. Give it towards the end of the week. And the housing glitch should be up a day or so before the decision. Normally decisions are posted in the evening (4:45pm). The glitch indicates that you ’ should’ have the expected decision and if you dont get the glitch no worries, it does NOT necessarily mean you didnt get in (stay positive)…
Thought to help ease the long wait…
What is the housing glitch?
Good luck all!
literally dying I’ve been refreshing my email and the application page all day lol
