are you sure it is open to undocumented students? i am a high school junior who wanted to apply but wasnt sure
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely apply! I was doubtful too but I was able to fly to Princeton last summer and through the National College Match I was matched with one of the partner schools and I'm in your same situation. If your still not sure make sure to give QuestBridge a call and let them know your situation, they are more than willing to help you!
Deleteokay :) thank you so much.it's great to hear from someone who is in the same position.i ll try then. it is just so hard to find opportunities and programs that don't require you to be a citizen. And also, i was afraid of asking someone because the situation embarrasses me.since this thing said permanent residents sometimes it is implied that you be a citizen. which college/university are you currently attending?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to help :) and if that doesn't work out try applying to CTY (Center for Talented Youth http://cty.jhu.edu/) they have some really cool summer programs. CTY is how I went to Princeton last summer. Also don't be discouraged by the price, these programs offer a lot of financial aid for gifted students to attend regardless of citizenship. Currently I'm a high school senior but I will be attending Pomona College because of QuestBridge :) and to answer the other question I would answer non citizen, its better not to lie about these things. Hope that helped!
Deleteoh and one more thing when you filled out the app for college prep did you choose non citizen as your status?
ReplyDeleteWhen you apply undocumented students are considered international so you don't need to worry.
Deleteokay, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would've loved to apply for the summer program ! But its already may, nd looking at your blog now I am very proud not knowing who you are but you accomplished things we all.thought could not have been accomplished, and all I can say its thanks for not being selfish and sharing this information. I can't wait to share this with my friends they'll be excited to hear this :D thank you so much again god bless you. I'm a rising senior and would love to hear more information about summer programs if there are any available programs that you know of email me loving.me21@yahoo.com thanks
ReplyDeleteIf you're into humanities and social sciences, TASP (for juniors) and TASS (for sophomores) are two free programs at University of Michigan and Cornell University (TASP) and University of Michigan and Indiana University (TASS) that do not ask for citizenship. If you're more of a science person, look into RSI at MIT. All of these programs are insanely competitive, but it doesn't hurt to apply.
