Thank you for your patience as I apologize for my repetitiveness. I have tried calling the representatives of the program and they have not picked up at all over several days, even on office hours (8am-5pm) which I found strange. All that was left was a voice mail saying to call back at the appropriate time which I tried. I just had some inquiries in the “commitment” aspect of the program which caused slight paranoia and I thought this was one of my few options for direct information (a bit naive I must admit) since I am planning a trip in the future but couldn’t wait that long. I am actually considering just dropping my application at this point anyway. I am in fact a first-generation student with strong financial needs but I can’t help but feel that I am just abusing the system and that others may need it more than me. I am the type of student who will do nearly anything to achieve my goals but potentially robbing someone in extreme need (a hypothetical case) of this opportunity is not on my list. I must admit my mistakes and my mess up in high school (suffered from intense depression and anxiety) and I will not be dishonest by saying it is primarily because of financial problems (though it was somewhat). How else can I learn from my mistakes? I am going to try and get in the normal way and hopefully my upward trend into a 4.1 gpa will convince them, maybe not. Oh and about the Google thing, I agree with you. Doing that kid of thing completely ruins the learning experience, especially since I might major in mathematics and will be learning how to come up with my own solutions for problems. Once again, thank you very much.
