<p>Hi other moms with students accepted to the Washington Mentorship Program. My D has also been accepted to WMP with Spring acceptance into main campus. I’m wondering if we should begin a new thread? Since I’m new and have never posted before, I’m looking to you for advice on this. We have mixed feelings about this “acceptance” in our home. My D was confused, especially since we thought that AU was a pretty safe bet with her SAT/ACT scores and GPA. Guess that proves once again that you never know. Also, I’m guessing that if our students selected either Political Science or SIS, these are probably the two most difficult schools to get into at AU and the competition seems FIERCE when looking at posts here. Impressive actually, so she would be in good company I guess. (I’m not sure why you would go to AU for things like biology, etc.) I’ve lived/worked in WDC and know the wonder and awe of the city, and the value of an internship. The program sounds quite good, interesting and perhaps worthwhile. BUT…in addition to talking to each other, I’d really like to hear from students who have done it. Anyone out there? Maybe this why we should begin a new thread?</p>
