More good times ahead...
Dear MEGAN,
Your biography has been accepted for publication in Who's Who Among American High School Students®, 2003-2004. Since only 5% of the students from our nation's 24,000 high schools are honored in Who's Who each year, we commend you for your achievements. You will receive an acknowledgement package in the mail.
Please remember, there are no financial responsibilities attached to this award. Because many students want a copy of the book and other award insignia as a memento of this honor, a catalog will be included in your acknowledgement mail package.
Also included in that package is a scholarship application. You are now automatically eligible to compete for one of 200 scholarships of $1,000 each to be awarded this year. Over $3,600,000 has been awarded through this program to date.
You may now also use The College Referral Service® (CRS), a reference service for college-bound Who's Who students exclusively. With the CRS, you can designate which colleges you wish us to notify of your selection to Who's Who. Recent surveys indicate that 95% of responding college admissions directors use the CRS to recruit students for admissions. Each year over 100,000 referrals are made for Who's Who students. The CRS catalog will be enclosed in your mail package.
You will also have the opportunity to nominate a teacher whom you wish to honor in Who's Who Among America's Teachers®. When evaluating the teachers who "made a difference" in your life, please remember to consider teachers from your earliest years who may have influenced your current success.
Blah blah blah, we don't need to go on. YES!!!!! Good stuff! This will help out with college a lot!
There's only one thing...
I was basically relying on my SAT and ACT scores to get me into college, since they're really high. Only problem: Antioch, one of the colleges I'm looking at, doesn't look at either of those. They focus on GPA and community service. GPA?! My GPA leaves something to be desired. I'm hosed.
Ah well. There are other colleges out there.
