D didn’t go to any of these programs, but spent summers before Junior and Senior years volunteering for a local nonprofit about which she was passionate. So far she has been accepted to Stanford (SCEA), USC (being considered for Trustee Scholarship), invited to special “Scholar’s Day” at UCSD, invited to apply for alumni merit $$ at UCLA, and is a finalist for Morehead-Cain Scholarship at UNC.
