**Accepted - CLAS- Neuroscience **

Stats:

[ul]
[] College transferring from: Ozarks Technical Community College in Springfield, MO
[] Entering as: It says Sophomore, but by the end of this semester I SHOULD actually be at Junior status…have to call and find out on Monday…
[] GPA: 4.0
[] Units completed: 54 when applied; 66 upon completion of current semester
[] Units in progress: 12
[] Pre-reqs completed: As far as I know, all for Neuroscience
[] GEs completed: Again, as far as I know, all- except foreign language reqs
[/ul]Subjective:

[ul]
[] ECs listed on app: Phi Theta Kappa member and volunteer, VP of Honors Student Council (also founding member), founding member of Honors Program, a pretty cool Honors Thesis project involving a discussion panel with local government leaders, lots of other community outreach/volunteer stuff, Student Ambassador, foundation scholarship award winner, and guitar player in popular local band.
[] Job/Work Experience: Yeesh, I’m 27 and po’. Name a place- unless it required a college education, yeah, I’ve been enslaved there at some point.
[] Essays (subject and responses): Main one was “what matters most”- talked about my kids. Sent in a supplemental autobiographical one as well because I’ve had a very challenging and bizarre path in life.
[] Letters of Recommendation: Um…it’s been a minute…if they weren’t required, I didn’t send any…
[/ul]Other:

[ul]
[] Other schools applied to: A bunch. Columbia G.S. (accepted), Cornell, Harvard, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Amherst, Stanford (no other replies yet).
[li] Comments: Just got my acceptance today, and it is very exciting. Due to financial aid, I am definitely leaning towards USC right now. We’ll just have to wait and see. Other than that I should just say that I’m kind of an oddball. I’m 27, have four kids, live in extreme poverty, and have overcome addiction, homelessness, loss of a child, and so much more in my time on this earth, so I think my autobiographical essay may have played a part here. My high school record was atrocious, as I dropped out to help my struggling mother keep our family afloat after our father left, except apparently I never ACTUALLY dropped out, lol. So my h.s. GPA was like 1.something. But I’ve worked very hard since I reentered academia as an adult, and now I feel safe in saying I’m finally going to give my kids the life they deserve!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! FIGHT ON!![/li][/ul]
