Reflection:
Strengths: Letter of Recommendation, my essay (probably one of the best essays I’ve written). I also used the additional information section to explain my family economical circumstances, and why I can’t join sports and much clubs (have to babysit sister after school)</p>

<p>What other Scholarships will you be applying for: anything I can apply for, GMS, Questbridge National College Match, Coca Cola, anything. I really need the money as my parents will not pay for my college education.</p>
<p>General Comments: I’m super glad I applied. I’m the first one in my school ever to apply and get accepted by Questbridge. Anyone going to Princeton Conference?</p>
