<p>My daughter was also invited to apply for FYHP and Regents. She excitedly completed both application responses perhaps a little too hastily as I don’t think we really digested the full impact of the possibilities. Now I wish she had taken a little more time with her responses as opposed to banging something out in 30 seconds. But she was really excited as UCSC is her top choice so we’ll see what happens. She’s applied as a Lit major with a possible philosophy or German minor. Don’t know if that will last since experience can change a person at UCSC which is something that I find appealing for her. </p>
<p>Since it has been suggested that this invitation implies acceptance, she initially was all over going to Porter however I now see that Crown and Cowell may be her choices. So my question will remain, what would be better for a very non-conforming, artsy, poetry writing, spoken word performing, lover in indie rap, solid student-the FYHP or Porter?</p>
<p>This is an interesting thing that I found in my search for more info on the FYHP. </p>
