Hello all, I am currently a junior in HS and will be applying for nominations in the near future.
At first I felt I had a chance for a nomination, but after hearing talk from local folks of same race (Asian-American) who have had trouble receiving nominations even with stellar apps, I have heard that getting a nomination is not what you know but WHO YOU KNOW.
Any thoughts? Essentially, has anyone gotten a nomination through hard work alone (my situation) w/o knowing the politician? Thanks in advance
