Tell us a little bit about yourself.
My name is Tina Meetran. I am from Providence, RI and I graduated from Classical High School in 2011, and am an extremely proud CV alum. I went to Clark University in Worcester, MA where I received my B.A. in International Development and Social Change and my M.A. in Community Development and Planning. My favorite hobby would be crafting and doing anything artsy!

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.
