How are you connected to CV?
I went through the high school program (CAP) and then I went through the college program (CSP). Now, I’m engaged in alumni events and support with fundraisers. I come to different events whenever I can.
What was an obstacle that you had to overcome during the college application process?
Fear of rejection and taking it way too personally. It’s a serious step, but it’s not that personal. The world is not ending just because you were or may be rejected.
