Chances for AB Scholar (full ride)

I know a few AB scholars, though I can’t say what they’ve done before college (people don’t like to brag). I think one of them got published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Don’t a lot of people have this qualification too? And anyway, all you need to do for a peer reviewed journal or science research project is to go to a nice expensive private school and do stuff for a mentor who is three times your age. I mean really, when was the average college applicant given these opportunities?



The ethnicity thing does nothing: it’s purely a merit thing, and there’s no bonus points for diversity.

Well it does help for getting in, right? Maybe not getting the scholarship, but it’s gotta help.
