I'm not going, but good luck!

Yuzuru does an impressive job of keeping what he wants to be private, private, and letting us know things when he wants us to know them.

It's not about doing all the clubs, etc. It's about doing something meaningful to you, which you can talk about. Especially for the elite level US unis, it's about focus, not breadth. Showing real devotion and interest in something - be it an activity, a cause, an academic interest, what have...

That's true: all the Ivys are need-blind, so a person's ability to pay is immaterial. Even schools that tend to be "need-aware" usually only call that into play if a student is borderline for admission.

There are two separate "EMS"? WTF? I found the place where I signed up for potential volunteer slots. When I click "schedule" there, it's blank. I'm assuming that means I didn't get assigned to anything I'd picked.

I volunteered to do announcing at practices. I hate doing music, but announcing, I enjoy, although I get cold. I don't know if I've been picked. I haven't heard anything at all back, since they had me sign up for my options. I've emailed them, and nothing. I'm assuming, at this point, that I'm...

When I went to the sign up site, they had ice monitors, music, announcing, hospitality and registration.
