Yawwwwn. What are stressed for? With your grades, test scores and recommendations and other qualifications? sheesh. You're lucky they don't come grab you out of high school right now and make you miss your senior prom to start school in January.

Mmm.... if he were a big defensive lineman, that's exactly what would happen.

True dat!

Just got the email for my Duke interview! Very excited, although my interviewer and I are meeting this week! I expected it to be after the holidays but I'm still looking forward to it! A little nervous, though.

A side note: I'm a semifinalist for the Park Scholarship at State. I was selected as a semifinalist out of 1300 applications! I interview for the scholarship in January.

Big time vibes for you, Native! Knock 'em dead!

Good luck on the interview. I know you will do fine. Also, good luck on the scholarship. What an honor to be a semifinalist.

Woohoo to all of it. I was an AB Duke scholar and my brother had a Park. He really liked the Park program and honestly it seemed in better shape than the AB program that I experienced (although I got to go to Duke, so there's that ) Seems like you have some pretty awesome possibilities ahead!

Congratulations!
Give 'em the 'WOWs' in that interview.

Submitted! March 29th is D-Day. Wish me luck!

Luck washed...ugh, wished!

I don't know which was the cause of more angst -- Native writing his essay or the OP writing his rec letter! But, they both made their deadlines.

That swoosh of warm air you felt roll in was their collective "Whew"! as Native clicked on SUBMIT.
Let the wringing of hands begin!

Thanks to all of you for your interest and support.

Love, Ima

Not that you really need them as you'll get in.

The best to you in your decision process and receiving a scholorship!!!

I have worked in UGA office at Duke, so ask away.

There is a wealth of great information on this forum.

Dont stress over it... and enjoy your Senior year in High School.

Well, I was accepted into NC State's college of Engineering as an undecided engineering major. I was also recently named a finalist for the Park Scholarship — the only one selected from my high school. As a finalist, I already receive $10,000 ($2,500 a year) should I choose to enroll. The funny thing is that this application didn't even have my strongest letters — those from my AP teachers, my principal, and my grandfather. It had letters of recommendation from my Student Council faculty advisor and one of my Spanish teachers. In addition, depending on how fast the testing agencies sent them, I may have only applied with a 2150 SAT instead of a 35 ACT.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for a BN Duke or some other merit scholarship. Should I be named a finalist for one of those, I'll hear sometime in late February and will be automatically accepted into Duke.

I hear back from Stanford on April 1st and Northwestern on April 15th. Northwestern only gives you two weeks to submit your deposit and notify of acceptance!

First semester grades? Straight A's, keeping my overall unweighted GPA at a 4.0 and increasing my weighted GPA to a 4.92. One more semester to go!

Woo Hoo! You're "officially" going to be out of the house next fall! Now the question is where?
