Hello everyone,
I’ve 100% been lurking on here and every Reddit forum for pre-pod over the past year, just building up my anxiety for when I actually applied. So, I actually applied very late in the cycle to only 1 school: Scholl. Some backstory is that I’m from the same city Scholl is located in. I’m also a black female who grew up in an underserved area: low income family, 1st generation college student, things like that. I 100% talked about my connection with the community and how my and Scholl’s missions were the same. It’s my goal to give back to my community. Another thing, I worked to support myself in undergrad and had some other extracurricular which I’ll mention below. My stats are not the best but I had a pretty diverse profile and was very passionate about the school and program at RFU. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in May 2022. Seriously, if anyone finds this post and needs some encouragement to submit an application…do it! PM ne and I’ll try to help.
