<p>rejected: bu’s summer research internship
accepted: bu’s summer honors program (w/e this is so stupid and i have to pay so much… and it doesnt even help on college apps)
pending: rockefeller’s summer high school outreach program (first choice… but now that i got rejected from bu’s summer research internship… i think i’ll prob be rejected from this one too)</p>
<p>now i need to rant a bit… i just dont understand how i got rejected from the bu’s summer research internship program… i had 2390 sat scores, 800 chem, 800 math ii, straight A math grades + i was the first person in my school to ever accelerate and take bc calc in 10th grade (granted its not very prestigious at other schools but i was the first in my school which must say something), straight A science grades plus i’m taking the most challenging science course avail to me (my school isnt very science-y so maybe it just didnt seem so impressive…) and good grades in all my other non-science/math subjects. and extracurriculars… i had hospital volunteering (and i volunteered at a hospital that was exactly in the area i wanted to research in), math team (and thats really all the science/math clubs offered in our school)… my school really doesnt provide much opportunity for science/math research and i emphasized that in my letter. oh and my teacher rec shouldve been good. and… i just dont understand how i didnt get in.</p>
<p>and this program isnt even that selective. maybe … i’m asian, needed financial aid… and they just didnt like me.</p>
<p>ugh ■■■</p>
