Please help me accomplish my dream
I’m graduating early after skipping junior year, but what should feel like an incredible achievement is overshadowed by fear and uncertainty. I was waitlisted at UPENN, my dream school, and I’m doing everything possible to strengthen my application before the next round of decisions. To prove my commitment, I applied to a month-long program at Rice University and was thrilled to be accepted. But life threw another hurdle my way—I was denied financial aid. Now, I’m scrambling to come up with $3,000 to cover the course and I’m terrified I’ll miss this opportunity simply because of money. With time running out, I feel hopeless and completely out of options. Anything will help, thank you.
