Our previous home may have been reduced to merely a dump, but it will forever hold the relic of a family's undying love.

Which moves you more...i don't want to sway people away by too much words...but the second one is more specific

I am an Asian-American female student who is currently a senior in high school (c/o 2008) about to apply to the following UCs: Berkeley, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Davis. I am wondering what my chances are of getting into those schools.

- I have a 4.47 College weighted GPA, 3.81 weighted. I am ranked 2 of 415 in my school.
- I was the historian, vice president, and I am now currently the president of my school's KEY (Kiwanis Educating Youth--a community service organization) Club, and I am the president and founder of my school's Zinch Flavor (www.zinch.com).
- My test scores (this is what worries me)... SAT: 1820, ACT: 27 (I got a 31 in math. Science brought me down.), SAT II: Math 2 - 620, Literature - 590. I am retaking the SAT in December, and I retook the SAT IIs two weeks ago.

I wrote my personal statements, and they are pretty good.

What do you think?

(grammar,transitions suggestion anything)

According to Engle Superman represents a religious symbol. Engle believes THAT superman is a visitor from “heaven.” His appearance is like an angel with his cape which echoes its curve like angel’s wings. His name has a virtuous meaning “all that is God” and “I have found a son.” Engle believes that superman is the American guardian who can serves as a secure “nonsectarian” focus for religious response, mainly among young. In relationship, however, American society generally does not recognize sacred icons because its diverse religious beliefs would cause different and opposing religions views.

I am interested in the los angeles city college. A plus is I will be able to warm up to the "big city" before pursuing my career. (My ambition is to be a great song writer/composer and performer, I sing, play piano, and violin btw.) Also, I have a better chance of getting into a great music school like ucla or usc afterwards. However, the only family member I have near L.A. might be moving to fullerton, and that's about an hour drive! However, I heard that the fullerton community college is great as well! So if any of you can give me your opinions on these schools, or if you know of even better community schools, it will be much appreciated. Thanks alot!!

I have a paper due in DECEMBER. And I am completely confused about what to write it on.
1. Select one of the generals who fought during the Civil War in the _mytown__area. Research how he came to be involved and what his contribution was. Finally, explain the impact he had on the Civil War as a whole.
2. Research a current medical issue, write a detailed analysis of the issue, and discuss the possible actions society needs to take to deal with the problem.

Which one would you choose... I'M indecisive

I got a 2190 on my SAT's, which is pretty good, but i'm not sure if i can get into the Ivy League schools with that. My gpa's around a 3.8-3.9. I have several extra-curriculars, which includes the president of a community service club at my school. I'm in CSF (california scholarship foundation), spanish club, and in the school band. I ran a food bank at my school, and won a silver award for it from the county. I was also on the Homecoming court at my school, for homecoming queen. Is this enough to get me into Harvard? Or maybe any other Ivy League schools? I'm also an administrative assistant at a nearby office, and have been working since i was 14. I don't know if that'll factor into my chances of being accepted though. Any comments are appreciated, thanks!

Also, if you need any more info, just ask =)

My brother told me that being a straight-A student does not guarantee I will get this scholarship.... what they're more interested is how I lead my life outside the college life.

Well, could any of people here enlighten me a bit here? About life outside college to qualify for this full scholarship? Sports, Arts or whatever?


PS: I'm talking abut MIT-NUS-NTU Alliance full scholarship... or something like that since I don't remember exactly of it.... I must ask my brother once more.....
