I've been making progress - slowly, but surely. Today in thesis, I looked up the application requirements for UTD and the PACT program (the joint 7-year UT Dallas/UT Southwestern accelerated medical program). It seems that all I have to do is send one of the transcripts I requested to them and submit my (already completed) ApplyTexas application. (All I have to do is write that one optional essay, and I'm not sure if I really want to do that. I'd like to receive the AES Academic Honors merit scholarship, but I don't know if the essay would help me with that or not.) I'll have to wait till October to access the PACT application, though. The nice thing is, I feel like I have a slightly better chance at this program than at other 7-yr med programs. Besides, it's a collaboration with my dream medical school, UT Southwestern! What could be better?
In other news, I read through some Yale student blogs, which only served to make me fall in love with the school even more. Seriously, I love Yale so much. I can't even describe it. (If I don't get in, I might cry. A little. And then sigh and move on.)
All sentiment aside, I think I've made my decision. I'm going to apply to Yale SCEA instead of Princeton, because I'm almost done with the Yale supplement already. (Besides, I have to rewrite my Princeton essay because apparently what I wrote didn't fit the prompt.)
I'm also making steady progress on the Readathon. Now I'm at $1,542. (So exciting, ahh!) Vineeta also got back to me about continuing with the Readathon, saying this:
"I love your enthusiasm. Yes, we will think of something for you to do after oct 31st. :)"
She's organized a Pratham get-together next Sunday, so hopefully then we'll get some time to sit down and discuss this in further detail.
