Falcon, you have an AMAZING resume. I'd be looking forward to that LOA come September/October!
So it's safe for me to assume that you're going to SS this year?
 
thanks

:shake:thanks for typing up your resume, you helped me remember some things that I left out!
 
Do well on the ACT and CFA, and you should have a really good shot.
Have fun at Summer Seminar. I'll be at Summer Seminar session C, the one that lasts 6 weeks :smile:
 
Packermatt: I just got my new ACT scores today, and they look a bit better.

English: 35
Reading: 35
Science: 30
Math: 29 (Still needs some work)

There actually is a summer seminar session C this year. Have fun at session D :shake:.
 
after seeing that resume I don't even know what I'm doing here now. lol

You mean session D. There's actually a session C this year. I'll see you there:)
 
Falcongirl - congrats on the improved ACT scores. My son took his and improved as well (33 Composite, 34 Math, 34 Science, 33 Reading, 31 English), but is determined to take it again in April to try to get that 36 in math. Your Reading & English scores are awesome!

I will try to post his resume later. I tried now, but I'm on the MacBook and his resume is on the computer in a room with a sick kid! I had it as an attachment (he just sent it to his ALO), but this computer says it can't open it due (probably an Apple/PC issue)!
 
Had a question about ss...

I am all set to go, paid all my dues and filled in the online forms, except that I want to change my workshop preferences. Is this possible? I filled them out several weeks ago without knowing their true nature (I just chose the ones that sounded coolest) and just now I discovered the link to the descriptions of the workshops :frown: Can I change them somehow?

thanks!
 
You can probably try calling someone, but I wouldn't bother, for two reasons:
-All seminars are high quality, educational, and fun. You'll have a good time. You can't go wrong with any of them.
-Your choices of the seminars are more like, um, suggestions. For last year, my actual schedule had only a minor resemblance to my preferences. They have a lot of participants to process, and can't always give everyone their preferences.
