<p>I’d say you definitely have a shot!!! I attended last year and it was the best thing in the world ever ever ever. i also had a lot of financial aid.
there’s not a real formula for being able to get in
the best advice I can give you is to do your absolute best on the application exam, and write out all the work you do with explanations of your thought process. if there are questions you can’t solve, show all the work that you were ABLE to do and describe the obstacles you ran into that may have prevented you from solving it. i did not complete the entire exam, not even close, but I still got in. I think it was because I tried.
sumac is the best thing in the world…
i’m going to apply again this year so fingers crossed fingers crossed fingers crossed!!!
best of luck to you. the application comes out on the 25th, as I’m sure you know.</p>
