[quote=Anonymous]I don't know - seems like she would be at the top of the pack with these accomplishments regardless of her race.  And I bet she wrote great essays and had great interviews to stand out.  I mean, this is exactly the type of person I'd want if I was an admissions officer at an Ivy.

"[Augusta] has pursued a rigorous college preparatory program that has included 11 Advanced Placement courses. Her attainment of a 101.64 GPA and designation as an AP Scholar with Distinction only scratches the surface of this young lady’s accomplishments.

[Augusta] is a 2015-2016 Coca-Cola Scholars Program semifinalist and, as a member of Science Research, has received honors and awards in numerous New York State Science and Engineering Fair competitions, including the ASM International Long Island Chapter Award at the Long Island Science Congress Fair.

Augusta’s leadership skills are second to none. She is the president of Future Business Leaders of America, president of the Leo Club and executive director of Excel Education Preparation.

In addition, she participates in the World Language Honor Society, National Honor Society, Rho Kappa Honor Society and Science Honor Society. She has also shown her altruistic nature as a volunteer at Parker Jewish Institute for Healthcare and Rehabilitation.

Augusta is a talented young lady with a social conscience and a deep regard for humanity. She plans to become a doctor.”

If such remarkable achievements were not enough, Augusta was named one of 40 finalists nationwide for the 2016 Intel Science Talent Search where she enjoyed an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. in March to compete for awards and prizes of up to $150,000."[/quote]
