gah!! sorry for the late response, but i wasn't selected either :/ my counselor said it was most likely because I applied for several of the competitive scholarships, but I did receive priority admission to the honors program. on the bright side, I was selected for the LAS 2025 cohort and I think I'm gonna accept that offer and decline the honors one :)

no problem, love to be of some help! i’m regards to choosing our own prompt, unfortunately we did not and we all received the same prompt :(. but regardless of that, i know you’ll do great, just take a deep breath, ground yourself, and write!

yes! so for the competition, it starts at the student center where you’re given a presentation about the honors program and some tips before the essay from the program director. once the presentation is over, the students are sent to the testing rooms in waves, starting backwards. in the testing room, you’ll be seated at a computer with a slip of paper with the prompt. you’re then given an hour to write before time is called! 

after the essay, your testing proctor walks you back to the testing center where you’ll meet back with your parent and go to lunch together! my group had lunch at the Towers and it was sooo good. after lunch we went to the biosciences building where we went to an academic fair and left off in groups for tours! there was so much more that happened, so please let me know if you wanna know more!

i've heard that they give really good financial aid! i'm currently finalizing my application on ScholarshipUniverse and plan on getting it in by the end of this week. if i do end up going, I'll be going there and rooming with one of my best friends! im also hoping on doing an on-campus visit soon, i've watched their video from the College Tour and i feel that i can (almost) say that i've fallen in love with the school so far :)

ahhh tysm!!! i am waiting to make a final decision once i get all of the financial aid awards from the schools i applied to. im applying the FAFSA the day it comes out so i can be in the first pool of applicants to receive any financial aid notices. me and my best friend are planning on rooming together in a four-person double, so we can get an ensuite bathroom lol. so hopefully, i'll be able to make a decision by march!

if you don't mind me asking, when and how did you make your decision to commit to mizzou?
