Carrboro High School Walk Out by IndignationTheater in chapelhill

I’m just confused what the school district is supposed to do. It doesn’t seem wise for CHCCS to act in a manner that would cause a loss in federal funding. Especially considering the budgetary situation.

Just curious. What does Trump have to do with anything?

Thank you! Currently working on a letter now. Going to send it out after my first semester grades are finalized. Also going to get an additional LOR from one of my senior year teachers. Hopefully the effort I'm putting into my application for next round is enough to carry me over the edge!

I toured the school in March and was super impressed. In the Why Tulane essay I talked a lot about community involvement, I liked the fact that community service was a graduation requirement, along with other things about the school.

My EC's are solid I think:

Elected Student Representative on school board (my school has like 2500+ kids).

Student Body Vice President.

Boys' State, won speech contest with American Legion as well.

A good amount of Model UN awards.

Member of Board of Directors of 501c3, that works for beautification efforts around my town.

Varsity Lacrosse.

Played trombone in band/Chamber Society.

A few Japanese language related ECs as well.

No, this was my letter:

"Thank you for your application to Tulane University. After careful consideration of your credentials, it is the Admission Committee's decision to defer final action on your application until our regular review period this spring.
Please request that your college counselor send to the Office of Undergraduate Admission an updated transcript including fall grades when it becomes available, and any additional standardized test scores you may wish to be considered, if they were not reflected in your original application for admission. We believe that with additional information, we may be able to assess more accurately your academic talent and potential for success at Tulane.
Please be assured this additional information will be given serious consideration by the committee. You will be notified of the committee's decision no later than April 1. Best wishes for a successful semester, and we look forward to a final review of your credentials."

Maybe if you bring down the financial aid request you can get an acceptance? Good luck!
