| ^^ Sad truth is that the difference between you and the previous poster, other than your better SAT's, is the fact that they are a URM. They only offer these scholarships to everyone because the courts forced them to. Welcome to the real world my friend. | |

| Just to let you all know, I will be helping out at the March 9th (the first one) interview day at the luncheon, and I'll probably be on one or both of the student panels. | |

| Just make sure you wear a nametag that says "somebodynew"! How many interview days do they have? I assumed it was just one....how many students do they expect to come for the interviews? | |

| Haha, if I remember. If not, "Ryan" will have to do. They have 3 interview days, with about 100-120 semifinalists showing up each day. | |

| ^ If you had a real good essay, they give you GemStone? My D will trade you her Gemstone for your Banneker/Key! | |

| Gemstone is assigned based on admittance to honors and the responses to the niche questions about research and such. | |
