Thanks to everyone and sorry I haven’t checked these responses for a while! At the end of March, I went to the Emory Scholars finalists’ week and I was awarded the Woodruff (full ride!) scholarship! At this point, I’m definitely strongly leaning towards Emory, and only have 2 more weeks to decide … so if anyone has any advice or suggestions, I’d love to hear them! I was also accepted to Columbia and Dartmouth, but, like Yale, I didn’t qualify for their financial aid.

@brendauo101 Thanks! Just be sure to start those essays early - don’t procrastinate! Keep your grades up, of course, and stay involved in your activities, though it can be tempting to slack off. Also, in your applications, try to pick a single focus (for example, your passion for art), and streamline your app with that in mind. Mine were way too scattered, and I’ve since realized that I should have been more direct about my interests. Good luck to you!
